What did Spearman do that was so extraordinary, apart from resisting throwing a saddle and bridle over Samantha Cameron?

"including two of his official drivers"
How many did he have?? All he needed was one main driver and another to follow behind in case he'd left any kids in Fortnums.

It's a disgrace. Just brings the whole honours system into total disrepute.
Fuck off Cameron.

I guess drivers are only allowed to work a certain shift and the PM would have one on 24 hr call.
I used to work for a Saudi bloke who had 5 drivers for him & his wife and 2 kids.

So, the daughter of a Baronet descended from Charles II - herself an "award winning" women's designer - needs a stylist, who is then honoured with a royal honour proposed by aforementioned woman's own husband?
What on earth is wrong with that? It's all part of the "big society", don't you know.

Personally I think MP's should use public transport but just explaining why there would be more than one.
The PM may need to nip out to Spitalfields Markets at 3am to inspect the latest pig head arrivals and obviously the guy who had been doing the 9 to 5 shift needs to sleep.

"Personally I think MPs should use piblic tramsport"
So do I. Buses through Harlesden. During the rush hours. At least a few times every year, even if their constituency is in the Scottish highlands or somewhere rather agreeable in Cornwall. Given them a nice dose of perspective.

I remember over 10 years ago seeing Gerald Kaufman in the middle of a busy Charring cross train station I felt slightly star struck, why I do not know.

Do you imagine this Southern Rail DEBACLE would be dragging on as it has if MP's were travelling in from Sussex every day on it?
The Minister for Transport should have his office in a Central Line carriage.

Osborne's gong is the least of it. If you put aside party political loyalty, it can be easily justified on the basis of 6 years as the holder of one of the great offices of state.
Some of the others are a fucking disgrace, though, and you would think he actually wants to go down in history as cronyist Eton toff.
