CONGRATULATIONS to David Cameron and his wife for setting an example in these harsh economic times by flying Ryanair and staying at a moderately-priced hotel for Mrs Cameron’s two-night birthday treat to Spain this week.

Can anyone imagine Tony Blair and his wife flying with a budget airline or staying at anything but a five-star hotel when he was Prime Minister?

The founders of the Labour Party must be turning in their graves to see the leaders of their movement behaving more like toffs than the toffs they profess to despise.
