She should know about this, having advertised in 'The Lady' for a nanny for
her own children.

Having watched her closely when I lived in Islington and she was leader of
the local council, I think she would be a leading contender for the
'All-time hypocrite' prize, but there's a lot of competition for that one in
New Labour these days.
