I had not heard of Len Duvall before today. He sounds like a ballroom champion whose attempt at Continental sophistication - by adopting “Duvall” - is undercut by his first name. Maybe he is one of the less popular judges on Strictly Come Dancing?
He turns out to be the leader of the Labour group on the Greater London Authority.

Calder's Comfort Farm: Inflammable Brownies and Len Duvall
The latest Calder's Comfort Farm has been posted on the New Statesman website:
