Remember all those stories about how Dave ‘Vote-Blue-to-get-Green’ Cameron insisted that there should be no conspicious consumption of Bollinger at his party conference? Well, a Mirror photographer spotted the Supreme Leader in flagrante. The paper’s report reads:

David Cameron quaffs £140-a-bottle bubbly with his rich chums just hours before the Tories announced a pay freeze for millions of ordinary workers.

Mr Cameron flouted a champagne ban imposed by his own party chairman who was keen to avoid accusations the Tories believe the election is in the bag.

When we caught him sipping fizz at an exclusive party, heavy-handed minders immediately moved in and tried to stop us leaving with the embarrassing snap.
