‘It’s fine, none of the kids will be wearing the Boden pyjamas,’ I tell Anthony, before we leave for Downing Street.

‘Not dead,’ Nina says of the chances of her wearing the charmingly old-fashioned Boden nightdress, while Elon firmly accessorizes his beloved, aged and violently garish Spiderman pyjamas with Thomas the Tank Engine slippers that toot when you press the toes.

Down the utterly traffic-free road the Browns inhabit, and through the front door, where I realize at once that mine are the only children not turned out in pastel clothes devoid of any, er, cultural references.

Gordon Brown, man-in-waiting to the premiership of this island, bears down on Elon: ‘Welcome, thank you for coming,’ he says.

‘Yes, hi, I’m Elon, guess what pyjamas I’m wear–’ Elon is in full flow when a puzzled look crosses his face. Accustomed all his life to total adoration, this is his first political encounter. No sooner does the chancellor of the exchequer begin to bend towards Elon than his eye is caught by another arrival, and – not a small man – Mr Brown has just shot across the room faster than a superhero, to press fervently an altogether higher-up hand, that of Bob Geldof.

Elon, fledgling lobbyist, rapidly pads across the room into the mass of minor television celebrities busy helping their offspring with the laid-on party activities, such as stuffing teddy bear suits with cotton wadding, and very soon manages to summon the attention of every single person in the room with incessant and oft-repeated blasts from his very vocal slippers.
