Proud To Be Nu Labour ? It's a spending list that must send warm little thrills through the hearts of ex dockers and miners all over the country. Thousands of nurses about to be chucked onto the dole must be saying...."Well at least Mrs Blair got a nice haircut." A nice haircut, £250 a day of donated money spent on dolling up the Prime Minister's wife. An expense totalling £7,700 during the last election campaign. At least this isn't tax payer's money, for now at least. With all the political parties edging towards an agreement on public funding, by the time of the next election the PM's wife may be wasting thousands of pounds of your hard earned dosh on her crappy haircuts. Before. After. And it doesn't stop there, Michael Howard managed to fritter away a massive £3,600 on make-up during the election. There are transvestite pole dancers who don't use as much make-up as that. Charles Kennedy racked up £4,800 pounds on 6 new suits, hasn't he heard of M&S ? Just to get back to Mrs. Blair though, here is a person who is not actually running for election, a person who is very wealthy indeed in her own right, sponging shamelessly off the Labour party in order to make herself look good. Be honest though, has anyone ever looked at Cherie and thought..."Now that's a really good haircut." No, never, not anyone excepting perhaps her hairdresser. To put these amounts further into perspective, one day of Cherie Blair's hair trimming is the amount a pensioner in this country receives in three weeks. The total amount wasted on Blair's hair would have paid for 453 cataract operations to restore sight to the blind in third world countries (according to figures at Sightsavers International ). The amount of money lavished on Michael Howards slap would have bought 360 starter chicken farms for African families (figures can be found at Farm Africa) . Charles Kennedy's tailoring bill would have bought 177 bottles of Glenfiddich Special Reserve (according to The Global Whisky Shop ). I know that was a cheap shot, but what the hell. Michael Howard yesterday.
