Some of you may remember when Tony Blair was heckled at the Women's Institute with a slow handclap, disturbing his speech. That was in the year 2003, years after Blair secured his landslide 179-seat majority.

In other words, for the Labour MPs and their spouses, it's free frocks all around. But the rest of us, well, we must all pay the taxman, or the taxman will be after us.
