    Oh I'm getting trolled by Breitbart now. Must be doing something right.

    Pals with Obama at Harvard, Government minister under Blair and Brown, became an MP at 27 in 2000 – but our Dave ain't the political class!

    I am worried that the chair of the Grenfell inquiry has talked of narrow terms of reference. He needs to be fearless
