Breakfast at BMAC - high jinks at City Hall

Our Dear Leader was, as usual, rushing to get to one of his committees onTuesday, and PA Miss Antoine absolutely insisted he did not forgo his breakfast. So down trotted Damian to this televised committee, tray in hand with coffee percolator, croissants, assorted pastries, milk jug and sugar in spoon.

Gales of laughter as he staggered into Committee Room 1 under the load, and apologised saying plaintively: "I had to bring this, as Miss A insisted I must eat something".

Then he achieved the usual starting point for ten to any meeting by voting for something opposed by the Tories (these days a must). After that things went as normal: the ebullient and forthright Tory chair of the committee Brian Coleman shouted "Do you know what you're doing Damian?", provoking abarracking from all others.

Our Dear Leader smiled benevolently and munched away at his pain aubchocolat, thus proving that he does not oppose all things French. By the end of the meeting, fully stuffed with cakes and pastries and, therefore, in a friendly mood, he decided upon an alliance with the Tories for a final end flourish - a vote to ask the Mayor to cancel the Londoner propaganda sheet, thus annoying everyone else in the room!

Sounds like UKIP at the London Assembly is getting the balance right...
