On cross-party friendships

There is a marvellous article in today's Observer which you can read here about five cross-party friendships at Westminster.

Getting anything done in politics often requires people to work across party boundaries. It is really important for the functioning of democracy that we do not regard people who don't share all our opinions as enemies.

I found the article immensely cheering that in these partisan times ten MPs and peers were willing to talk to a journalist about their friendship with someone on the other side of the house.
