I'm alerted to a piece by Alice Thomson in today's Telegraph, which reports that the Blairs have requested priority treatment for their daughter's A-level results:
"Prime ministers tend to become more whimsical the longer they remain in power. But now, however, Mr Blair may have gone too far. Tony and Cherie have reportedly asked for their daughter's A-level results to be delivered a week early so that 'arrangements can be made' at Birmingham, her preferred university. Every other child taking these exams has to wait for August 17.
"Forget Lord Levy – this is the final evidence that the man at 10 Downing Street has forgotten that, in a democracy, politicians should play by the same rules as everyone else."
