After a decade of Blair getting off around the world to stay woith rich mates for his summer holiday, it appears that “I’m staying in Britain” is the order of the day for politicians, with Brown reportedly going to Southwold in Suffolk and the Scottish coast, and Cameron holidaying in Cornwall. Only Clegg is bucking the trend, and is going to Spain to stay with his inlaws.

To be honest, who cares where politicians go on their summer holiday so long as they pay for it all themselves?
