Novice: ‘No time for a lightweight’

Were my laptop not in a coma, I’d have time to write a considered piece about the bills in the Queen’s Speech – or anything else, really. Instead, I’m reduced to plugging second-hand gossip for a cheap partisan chuckle:

On meeting Cameron, Obama was, according to diplomatic sources, "distinctly unimpressed", contrary to some reports (excitedly spun by the Conservatives) which suggested that the two men had formed an instant "bond". Instead, I have been told, Obama exclaimed of Cameron after their meeting: "What a lightweight!"

Tee-hee!

(Shame on me.)
