It was a big day for Tony Blair yesterday - but it was also a big day for me. Why? Because - rather bizarrely - it was the day I became David Miliband's toilet attendant.
I was lurking outside the press room at the CLA's centenary conference when the minister appeared and asked whether I could check if there was anyone in the toilet opposite. The reason he wanted me to check it out was because it was the ladies and he didn't want to surprise anyone. The reason why he didn't want to use the gents further down the corridor is anyone's guess...
