From today's Daily Mail, which previously reported on how Cherie and Tony Blair were using two range rovers in train for house hunting:
"Mr Blair has quickly honed his taste for the high living to which he has always been drawn.
"Friends say he has, of late, been extolling the virtues of the private Gulfstream jets that are now his preferred mode of travel - those wishing to book him on the international lecture circuit are routinely told that providing Mr Blair with his own airliner is a non-negotiable requirement...
"And when the Jewish Federation in Tampa, Florida, approached his agents, the Washington Speakers' Bureau, to book him for its annual President's dinner next March, it baulked at their insistence that Blair would charge £125,000 for a one-hour talk, plus, of course, the prerequisite private jet to transport him from the UK."
