    It’s a case of ‘here we go again’, as all of us – not just motorists – find we are being held to ransom by greedy oil traders who have eclipsed the very companies themselves in manipulating the ‘black gold’ market, to send prices rocketing by Christmas.

     Now, in keeping with a monetary theme, here’s the million dollar question: Will any government – not just the current one – ever do...

    Hopefully, Tony Blair’s ambition to become ‘El Presidente of Europe’ has suffered not one, but two political kisses of death in the UK this week!

    The first nasty ‘smacker’ on Tony’s cheek came from public schoolboyish character David Miliband (he who apparently sees himself as the former prime minister’s campaign manager), immediately arousing suspicions that this enthusiastic show of support was merely to put him in a good position to land...

    If Tony Blair was taking part in Strictly Come Dancing, he would probably be described by the judges as waltzing his way to the top with deceptively good footwork.

    Hey – I’ve got this absolutely wicked idea for raising shed loads of dosh. I’m going to invite people – preferably well-heeled, famous, members of society – to have their photo taken alongside me for a hefty fee.
