Silly Season

Leading this morning’s Today programme was the news that Home Secretary Jacqui Smith smoked cannabis when at university. I immediately said to Sara, “I bet I get a call today asking if I did, too.”

Bang on cue, just before noon, I was telephoned by a BBC Wales researcher, telling me that he was doing a survey of all Welsh MPs, asking if they had ever smoked cannabis. Had I?

No, I assured him; I had never smoked cannabis, nor, indeed, had I ever consumed any illegal substance. He seemed disappointed.

Silly season is almost upon us.
