    She's hitting all the right notes so far. Incredible!

    Sharpe will be having a heart attack.

    Thinking about the 'unbecoming-gate', I also detect a little bit of misogynistic undertones. I don't think that word is commonly used with men.

    I can't take credit for that event as I am no longer on the Hope committee, Joan McParland organised it. She is phenomenal and deserves huge credit.
