David Westhead as The Rt Hon. John Vosler MP, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party. The first is easy to understand. As Rees-Jones himself admitted, when it comes to emotions, he's "not that kind of bloke". But the second seems unbelievable. Mohammed Al Fayed - (always refereed to as "Mr Fayed") has not only accused his former employee of dereliction of duty, but of being part of a conspiracy - with, among others, Prince Philip - to murder Dodi and Diana.

My wish for him is that perhaps he can do the same as me - put this into the history file, accept the judge's conclusion, accept the investigation's conclusions.
