This article on Bloomberg.com gives a fascinating insight on life in the Downing Street bunker and I’d recommend you read it. I particularly liked the reference to the “news sandwich” technique, apparently devised by one nervous staffer to mitigate the worst of the, by all accounts, quite savage Prime Ministerial wrath (beware flying Nokias).
The authors of the article quote Martin Farr, of Newcastle University, as observing that the Prime Minister “can be regarded almost as a Shakespearean character, in the way his career and personality have brought him to this point”.
Glad it’s not just my opinion.
