McVey on Breakfast TV. Is it the accent, the Air Hostess (c.1987) hairstyle or the stream of ill-informed drivel that comes from her gob that is the problem? No, it's the thought that there is a remote possibility that this person could become our Prime Minister that is genuinely scary.
Her Big Idea is something called 'Blue Collar Conservatism'. How did this come about?
Esther: I want to be PM. I'm better looking than May and I'm media savvy. Surely that's enough?
Adviser: Can't fault your logic but you need something, more - something that will make you stand out from the others?
Esther (looking down at her chest): Aren't these beauties enough?
Adviser: Yes, but they'll only get you so far. We've go to win the battle of ideas too. We need a USP.
Esther: Well there's my track record as Minister?
Adviser: Better to keep that quiet...………...I know: you're from the north so you must be working class. All the others are toffs.How about that?
Esther: Behave yourself: my father ran his own construction business of which I was a director. I was a journalist and media star.
Adviser: In which case you must know the value of an image. Let's make you the champion of the working man. How about 'Blue Collar Conservatism'? It's totally meaningless, vacuous and mildly patronising. It's perfect! Think how well Theresa did with that 'barely managing' tosh!
Esther: OK - but my fav colour is actually pink.
