Lembit and me – it just didn’t last
I read in last night’s Evening Standard (who, by the way, last week described me as ‘a shrewd Plaid Cymru MP’ – praise indeed from that quarter) that Lembit Opik has a new girlfriend in 21-year old Ultimo model Katie Green.
I was, of course, as surprised as anybody by this news as only last week, the always coy, shy and retiring Lembit was suggesting a dalliance with myself in the pages of the Observer.
Reading that, I was naturally concerned by the future direction of relations between our two parties (was Lembit taking the ‘snog, marry or avoid’ model of Assembly relations a little too seriously?).
Lembit later told me, though, that it was a slip of the tongue, and he meant to say ‘Katie Price’ – an answer that would not have required parenthesis, even for Observer readers.
There we have it then, jilted by Lembit within 48 hours and my namesake Ms Price forgotten a week later.
Is this a record, even for Lembit?

Is he aspiring to go down in the history books as the most hedonistic MP since Profumo?
