Floreat Etona

New Labour was said to be a clique or a party within a party, is Team Cameron an Etonian party within a party?
David Cameron Lord de Mauley Geoffrey Clifton-Brown Lord Luke
Oliver Letwin Lord Cope of Berkeley Bill Wiggin Lord Astor of Hever
Hugo Swire Lord Glentoran Viscount Bridgeman Viscount Astor
Boris Johnson Lord Skelmersdale

This is the Eton faction on the frontbench. But look around CCHQ and the shadow team’s young advisers, a suspicious number of well groomed, well spoken and well mannered types. Can we out some of the Team Eton back-room boys in the comments please?

UPDATE : Candidates names as well please. Off to a good start in no time…

John Higginson of the Metro explains Quantitative Easing:

“There is £100 and 100 loaves of bread costing £1 each. QE creates another £100. Each loaf now costs £2.”



DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
