Socialist or another opportunist?

He probably is a socialist. Some people who've become rich with little effort remain left wing, because they assume it's as easy for everyone else.

It will be interesting to see which socialist policies he practices.

Euan "works" at Morgan Stanley. Tony "works" at JP Morgan.

Maybe Euan would be a good prime minister? His dad was a disaster - but he might be okay.

Based on what evidence?

...He's also got a degree in ancient history. How the flip did he even end up working in a bank?

Degrees don't always relate to job. Certainly that was the case while only 13% of the population had degrees. My first boss, Mr Tulip, had a degree in botany. Yes - he was a crap manager as well.

Blair's son Euan wants to stand as an MP. He was working as an investment banker for Morgan Stanley, his mother and father are multimillionaires and he alleges he's a passionate socialist. Who is going to vote for him? I can't see socialists being keen on him.

History is one of the key degrees to serious jobs in most non-science fields; always has been though I don't know why.

I don't see a contradiction with having a high-paid job and being a socialist; what your parents think/do/own is (should be) irrelevant just like Cameron's Dad's offshore tax avoidance.

I doubt he'll get much popularity but he deserves a shot. And think about it - we're always complaining MPs haven't had 'real jobs', but this guy did

Where exactly does high pay fit in with socialist ideology?

Botany is a respectable science. I once had an entomologist as a manger. He was okay, but obviously wouldn't be doing anything too logically demanding.

Champagne socialism?

He looks like a complete twat with that bum-fluff on his face. One of those faces that you would never tire of punching, just like his dad's.

Based on the principal of being open minded and awaiting facts - something that is in short supply on cuk.
