Simon Cowell in "private meeting" with David Cameron
PoliticsHome has learned that a "private meeting" took place between Simon Cowell and David Cameron yesterday in Parliament. What can they have been planning?
Going blue?
A spokeswoman for Simon Cowell confirmed to PoliticsHome this evening that a "private meeting" took place yesterday between the X Factor judge and David Cameron in his parliamentary office.
Should we be expecting a 'Baron Cowell' to take his seat in the Lords, the Tory answer to Lord Sugar?
Definitively not, insisted the spokeswoman, somewhat hotly:
"This was a private meeting which was nothing to do with political alignment whatsoever and non-exclusive to the Conservatives. It was entirely charity related. Simon Cowell is not publicly aligned to any political party. Please do not draw him into these political issues."
Cowell is known to be involved in the Conservatives' 'Tickets for Troops' scheme, which provides free entertainment tickets to servicemen and women.
The pair previously dined together in the summer of 2008.
The Conservatives confirmed that a meeting took place, but offered no further explanation.
