>In his published diaries he noted on Sunday 22nd April 2018: “Apparently Carrie Symonds, head of press in Conservative HQ, is due to become a SPAD in the FCO. It’s the first I’ve heard of it.”
Nothing quite does it than a contempory diary account from the time of the event from an impartial Tory Party observer.
