Quelle Surprise.

Cameron is worth over £30m and yet he still gets the taxpayer to pay for his persona ego masseuse and his wife's personal assistant.

I guess he meant 'YOU'RE all in this together'.

All politicians are at it though, regardless of their personal wealth.

Actually, thats unfair, I should say most.

The Cameron is 'worth over £30m' was a piece of nonsense from the Daily Mail a few year's ago, based on a misinterpretation of what some expert had said, and was actually a reference to the combined wealth of his and his wife's family.

Mind you, he should be worth a few quid now that his dad's died and once the estate goes through probate.

strange anti-dave article from a paper that usually acts as unofficial cheerleader for the tories.
whatever has dave done to offend them? oh, and the comments (almost all critical of the gov.) haven't been taken down yet.

all very odd.

Don't be blinkered by your mindset. The paper does present more than one dimension.

Quite - I'm sure that inheritance would be more than enough to pay for a personal photographer and a PA for his wife without getting the taxpayer to foot the bill whilst thousands lose their jobs and their homes.

And I'd like to see him address it at PMQ's when asked about it, rather than just avoiding the question - not really off to a good start, CallMeDave.

The Prime Minister's 'vanity photographer', Andrew Parsons, has been found a job at the Cabinet Office, where he will receive an estimated £35,000 to take flattering pictures of him and his misses

It will be £35,000 + royalties on "approved" snaps

No. You were right first time.



They are ALL at it.

Not that strange.

Paul Dacre (who is the editor of the Daily Mail) does not approve of Cameron (or Osborne for that matter), but is a close friend of Gordon Brown.
