She is a familiar face on the Westminster party circuit, having done a brief stint on the Evening Standard’s Londoner’s Diary when it was under the stewardship of former Chancellor George Osborne. “She is very fun and often seen on the dance floor (with Truss!) at Tory conference,” one Westminster comms expert says.

SP: I grew up in a very old house, and I remember our neighbor told us that somebody died in the house, so we were very obsessed with figuring out if the whole house was haunted (we determined it was). But it was always a thing that was really interesting to me. More recently, I read Zinzi Clemmons’ book What We Lose, and I remember her saying something about how ghosts can exist because it’s what you need to heal from your grief. So in a way, whether or not the ghost is real is irrelevant because you still see them. I have had very vivid dreams of people after they’ve died, and lots of people will talk about that or talk about seeing them or hearing them or different things. And I think that it’s about whether your grief and unfinished, unsettled feelings are manifesting themselves before you, or it could literally be their energy. They sort of end up being the same.
