Bollocks. He could have chosen to live outside central London, commute on the Tube, and still have a decent place to live. For fuck's sake, if I had a salary of nearly ninety grand a year, plus nearly thirty-five grand a year rental allowance paid for by someone else, I'm pretty bloody sure I could find a decent place to live in, say, Orpington or Whyteleafe (both of which now have Tube stations for commuting). But of course, we're dealing with someone who belongs to a party that thinks anyone on less than a bonus banker's salary is a pleb, and the last thing your average Tory MP wants to do is rub shoulders with the plebs, or (horror!) use public transport.
