Londoner’s Diary: Why is Cabinet still a virtual affair?

Welcome back to the Londoner’s Diary. First up we learn that the Cabinet has not met in person all year (and that’s despite Freedom Day). Later we hear a Birkbeck University lecturer has resigned over a senior academic’s views and we learn about the drugs on offer for health and safety conscious Londoners in Ibiza. Also Cherie Blair recalls being pipped to the post for a job as a young lawyer just because she was a woman and a well timed play on Afghanistan prepares to debut at the Camden People’s Theatre. In SW1A Cara Delevingne urges people to vote for Green party co-leader hopefuls Amelia Womack and Tamsin Omond.
