Goodbye Mette!
Went to Mette’s farewell drinks. Mette has been my researcher at Parliament since I was elected two and a half years ago. We went to Parliament together – neither of us with any experience – and we haven’t done so bad.
Mette is Swedish – and so I have learned to live with a Scandanavian flavour to my amendments, briefings and attitudes. And that hasn’t been a bad thing – as those countries sure get a lot of things right that we could learn from!
And although she supports Nick Clegg and I support Chris Huhne (!) we have been a real team and partnership. She is a very, very talented young woman and I will miss her terribly.
Mette knows everyone in Parliament. She is an inveterate networker – across all parties – and there was quite a turn out at her farewell. More than anything though – she is just a lovely human being – and I am just lucky to have had such a great researcher and hopefully friend for life!
And that’s why I am blogging about her publicly – cos I want everyone to know how great it has been working with her!

I never met Mette, but I had many e-mail correspondence and her responding to my letters. She came across as extremely helpful, considerate and down to earth.
Anyway, I wish her the best of luck with her future endeavours!
Thanks

Thank you Lynne.
You have no doubt been not only the best boss ever, but a true friend and inspiration for me. You have taught me so much and every single Sunday I couldn’t wait to go back to work – that is a real testament to how great you have been to work for! Lots of love, Mette xxx
