I like how this has been justified on the grounds that Cameron and Osborne have inherited their wealth or have rich partners, while Hague and the rest are all woe-begotten middle-class wage slaves; Hague only made over a million a couple of years back through his after dinner speaking, News of the Screws column etc. I don’t think he’s that hard up.

It should certainly make for interesting times should Cameron make it to Number 10. ‘I told Russia they must withdraw their troops from Georgia. They said no. I said “ok, then”‘. ‘I told the energy companies to pass on the fall in the price of oil but they refused. What can you do, eh?’

Well, actually…
