I'm just back from Conservative Friends of Israel's annual business lunch. Tomorrow morning ConservativeHome will be publishing an exclusive video of the after lunch discussion between William Hague, George Osborne and Daniel Finkelstein.
But here's one of the lighter moments from a generally serious discussion...
William Hague said that he'd recently met Tony Blair to discuss the latter's role in the Middle East Peace Process. 'How's it going?', asked Mr Blair. A lot better since you "cleared off" responded Our William. WH then paused before saying: Tony Blair didn't dissent!
