You can buy brioche in Asda where they cost £1 for a pack of six

I was unable to attend the Conservative Home conference earlier today, although I have heard it was interesting:  http://www.conservativehome.com/thetorydiary/2014/05/live-blog-securingamajority-the-conservativehome-may-conference.html

I saw Tim Montgomerie on BBC News discussing the detachment of politicians from the everyday concerns of the ordinary people (Ed Miliband was criticised recently for not knowing the price of groceries).

The political class risk imitating the error of Marie Antoinette with their let-them-eat-cake attitude to ordinary concerns.

Marie Antoinette actually said "let them eat brioche" - you can buy brioche in Asda where they cost £1 for a pack of six.
