Eurovision Song Contest

Asked if the Prime Minister was disappointed with the UK’s performance in the Eurovision Song Contest, the PMOS replied that he had taken a bet before Lobby that somebody would raise the subject, but did not think it would be Gallery News. All he could say was that he, like many other people had to sit through Eurovision because of the kids, and that was suffering enough without adding to it on a Monday morning.

Put to him that the Prime Minister said 10 years ago that nation was "Walking on Sunshine" after Katrina & the Waves’ victory, and asked where were we now, the PMOS replied that we were all a lot older and wiser.

Asked how the Prime Minister felt about Anglo-Irish relations, given the fact that Ireland gave the UK a maximum 12 points and we did not reciprocate, the PMOS replied that as he had said previously, there was enough sorrow already without him having to add to it.
