Employment Minister Esther McVey was back among friends at the Wizo UK dinner on Monday, sitting in between talent agent Jonathan Shalit and Conservative Friends of Israel director Stuart Polak.

It was Mr Shalit who had suggested she ought to pursue a political career when they met on the set of GMTV in the 1990s. She used to get the bus to school with Mr Polak when they were growing up in Liverpool.

From her Jewish friends, she even acquired a nickname: Esther OyVey.
