One day the names ill-wished were “Tony Benn, Idi Amin and Jimmy Carter”.

She believed it was her misfortune, her biographer William Shawcross wrote, to remind middle-aged men of their mothers; she recognised “the glazed look that came over their faces”, and thought this had made Carter reach in for his kiss. “I took a sharp step backwards.
