I listened to Cherie Blair’s statement on Radio 5 on the way back from Chesterfield last night about the whole Peter Foster and flat buying thing. It left me with a couple of questions – why are there 2 flats in Bristol – what is the other one for?, and why isn’t student accommodation good enough for their son? With a government policy that seems to be making it increasingly hard for students to survive without debt, why should he get such a helping hand? I also hadn’t realised that he had government officials helping him with his homework this time last year! Nice!
