I am not given to listening to hypocrisy. Some Opposition Members applaud me for the independent stance I have taken against official advice when members of their parties have made it their modus vivendi to pillory me at all times for working that way. It is somewhat hard to take. Notwithstanding the fact that my bank account was considerably enlarged by my presence at Cheltenham last week and that I returned in good humour, if I have to listen to much more of this from the left I will not be able to take it.
