A most amusing tale about sex from Westminster
My Westminster fave remains the well-documented case of Lady Falkender’s two children, born at a time when she was Harold Wilson’s all-powerful political secretary. It was not widely known in that innocent era. But one of the tabloids got as sniff of it and asked its veteran political editor, Walter Terry, to crack the case. Walter, whom I knew slightly, had to report failure. Odd really, but understandable because they turned out to be Walter’s kids.
