He doesn’t know the meaning of the phrase. His family and his wife’s family are so wealthy they will never reach the point of having to cut back to live within their means regardless of how opulent their lives are. Which makes his comments patronising. Then you have an issue that we have a...

Looks like the Owen Paterson debacle still has some legs too. Apparently the government has been forced to hand over private messages between Owen Paterson and MHancock.
