His wife has a proper job.

Only till she ends up getting done in court. She's sueing herself for bring herself into disrepute in that so-called biography

apparently

Their salary is only a small part of their income though? How else would someone like Blair (a socialist) end up a multimillionaire?

In the same way as all the other (champagne) socialists.

Lie, cheat and steal.

I think the answer is to give everyone in the public sector a pay rise, and print some more money.

It's only "fair".

If MPs take >10% and prices continue to rise, we could see an autumn of (the enlarged) public sector strikes. I bet Brown pants wished he had called that election now.

[DimPrawn]

Aren't MPs voting soon for a >10% pay rise?

Yes, no doubt the pigs will feed at the trough ....
I totally understand why people become revolutionaries..

Asked about the different in the two forecasts, Mr Darling said he would be looking again at his growth figures in the pre-Budget report in the autumn.

Perhaps he feels the need to make some more up...

No tulip, Sherlock!
Has he only just noticed? Where do they find these idiots?

WHS. I think this belongs in tomorrows "No s**t Sherlock" column in Metro.

From his wikipedia entry:

"Darling is not a professional economist, nor has he any experience of business. But he has always been a loyal supporter of Gordon Brown, the prime minister.. On Andrew Rawnsley's Channel Four programme on 9 June 2008 ("Gordon Brown: Where Did It All Go Wrong?"), Irwin Stelzer, a fellow of the Hudson Institute who knows Brown well, said: "Anyone who thinks Gordon Brown has given up being Chancellor doesn't know Gordon Brown. Alistair Darling is a man of some modest ability, but Gordon's, let's say, heavily involved in fiscal policy."



The blind leading the blind ....

Where do they find these idiots?

Edinburgh South West apparently.
