Virulently anti-Tory in its politics, The Spectator strongly objected to the appointment of the Duke of Wellington as prime minister, condemning him as "a Field Marshal whose political career proves him to be utterly destitute of political principle– whose military career affords ample evidence of his stern and remorseless temperament.".

All this may sound cliquey, but a successful weekly is a club, with its private jokes and scandals, and its conviviality. There we really couldn’t be faulted. The sesquicentennial ball was merely the high point, with le tout Londres sipping and bopping, and marked by a violent altercation between two women journalists which led to a libel action, mercifully not concerning us, although we had our share of those. Then there was our summer party, and the lengthy Thursday lunches. Sometimes we had American visitors, from Spiro Agnew to Alger Hiss, sad to say not on the same occasion. Agnew’s fellow guest was Barry Humphries, who, toward the end of lunch, left the room. After a remarkably short interlude, Dame Edna entered, to the consternation of Agnew.
