Friday 13th November 1981

Lunch in PM s flat - still working on speech.

She is getting more and more scattered.

6.00 cocktails with Norman Lamont - he is worried about unemployment.

Carrington has been talking about resigning - will not allow aid to be touched at all. More budget cuts to be borne by Norman Fowler.

Damned Irish troubles - murdered Ulster MP. [Reverend Roy Bradford]
