Thursday 15th October 1981
Talk to Fringe group - very well attended 200 or so.
Question time good - but called Heath s policy 1971/2 assinine [sic: asinine] then withdrew. Only Havilland in Times printed it.
Dinner with Lawson, Denis T [Denis Thatcher], KJ [Keith Joseph], Hugh Thomas, Lady Nieve [sic: Neave] and Ferdy Mount. Then party ITN. Great argument with Editor of Daily Mirror and an unknown ITN man.
[Different pen used from this point] Miranda Hoskyns witnessed it and said I was devastating - whatever that means.
