NICE "scoop" in the London Independent during the week about Tony Blair's plans to appoint Baroness Thatcher as Washington ambassador in return for her endorsing the Labour Party prior to the May 1st poll.
Sir Denis, the paper reported on its front page, has already been to a few of the more exclusive country clubs around Washington to check out the golf courses, and is looking forward to playing a few rounds with President Clinton.
Lady Thatcher is getting the second most attractive Washington residence as part of Blair's drive to create a new politics in which talented and experienced leaders are welcome in government no matter what their views.
Nothing like a good scoop on the first day of the month...
