Bike theft

Boris Johnson once wrote that he had had his bike stolen and, walking over Waterloo Station bridge, encountered Cherie Blair, who told him he was putting on weight. He said the experience seemed to encapsulate New Labour: failure to protect his property and gratuitously lecturing him on his private life.

Now it seems David Cameron has had his bike stolen. He says he had gone into a supermarket to buy 'a few bits of salad' and I must say something in me regrets that it wasn't some white veal and a packet of Capstan full Strength, but nevertheless he should make the most of it.

I reckon well managed this story is worth 100,000 votes.
