My darling old friend Hannah Rothschild that I have known since we were eight years old, put on a private showing of her documentary on Peter Mandelson tonight at the Soho Hotel, Covent Garden, and from being a conservative/closet socialist my head was definitely swung to the left. What an odious lot of characters, so odious that Peter Mandelson, looked a shining star. The man I believed bankrupted England was someone I wanted to meet and vote for. The sandwiches alone would make anyone look awful. What struck me was the terrible diet of our politicians, no wonder they look so puffy and tired. I was not alone in appreciating this insite into their lives, Lynn Barber commented too. This is an excellent example of my pals work. She made a fabulous documentary on Nicholas Haslam and several others. Nicky made me laugh, as the film finished I said to him "Look at those terrible sandwiches" and he turned to me poker faced and said " That is exactly what I would like to eat right now"
It has to be time that Hannah is noticed for her outstanding ability. A pity it wasn't out in time for the election it would have given David Cameron a run for his money.
I then went to the most delicious dinner of Eugeny Lebedev at Sake No Hana, (whose father owns The Evening Standard), the talents of Charles Finch and Vogue brought us together. I sat with Gosford Park actress Camilla Rutherford. Her beautiful face ready to be filmed again. The party was packed with the famous and I bumped in Peter Mandelson. Apparently there was Harvey Weinstein but I did not see him.
