I thought 'hubris' in 1994 - maybe it was just 'greed'

Guardian Unlimited Politics | Comment | Andrew Rawnsley: Tessa Jowell's sudden marital split won't stop the questions: "After the umpteenth ugly headline about the Blairs and money, I once asked one of the Prime Minister's closest advisers why he and his wife had such reckless disregard for what it did to their reputation. 'They spend too much time with very rich people,' was the blunt reply.

Because they work hard and carry so many responsibilities, ministers argue themselves into believing that they deserve a similar level of lifestyle to the mega-rich."
