She may look like a youthful schoolgirl herself, but Camden council leader Sarah Hayward wasted no time congratulating the borough’s students on their A-level results via Twitter.
Hayward is the most prolific tweeter among London’s local authority leaders (almost 20,000 tweets have been sent out so far in her name), and her message was met with suggestions that she may one day — just one day, mind — seek to swap the Town Hall for the Palace of Westminster.
The canny Hayward, 38, knows better than to issue a forthright denial — not that it would be believed any more than Boris denying he aspires to Downing Street. But one of the area’s Labour MPs is veteran Frank Dobson, so is Hayward looking to slip into his seat? Prior to becoming an MP, Dobson was leader of Camden council.
