Londoner’s Diary – Evening Standard

Welcoming Boris Johnson to the launch of Exiled at the Halcyon Gallery in Mayfair, Shireen Jilla thanked the Mayor for employing her husband Guto Harri as his spin doctor, giving her time to write her first novel. “He has done a spectacular job keeping him horribly busy,” she said.Boris accused the Londoner of “appalling revelations of S&M” before adding: “Have you read the bits about bleeding nipples?”Publisher Naim Attallah said that of the 600 women he had interviewed Shireen was “the most vibrant of them all”. “No one could forget anything about her,” said Attallah. “She left me reeling with admiration.”Harri said that, contrary to Boris’s teasing, he was not the main character in the book. “There he is, Nick Williams,” he said. “He really was a British diplomat in New York.”Guests included Rageh Omaar, Caroline Michel, Sophie Raworth and former Labour MP Bob Marshall-Andrews. “Boris and I think Libya is the first war we’ve agreed about,” said the ex-MP. “We couldn’t leave the people of Benghazi to be slaughtered by Gaddafi.”
