The Gentleman of the Lobby have traipsed to Amsterdam to see David Cameron deliver a speech, which due to the ongoing terrible situation in Algeria has been postponed. Now, of course, I don’t want to make light of something that is actually quite serious,

Here are some of the highlights:

Update: the entirety of the travelling lobby missed the 15.56 Eurostar to London – by 2 minutes. Every other train booked out. #euexitdoor

Have to be honest, sat at my nice warm desk, it’s hard not to feel smug.
