Apropos of my earlier comments on the Labour party's new found love for inherited privilege, it's also worth pointing out that the Tories are wondering whether to start a new political dynasty too although, perhaps unsurprisingly, they're going to do it in reverse.

Speaking to Cambridge University Conservatives tonight, Boris Johnson's father Stanley confirmed that he would put his name forward to succeed his son in Henley.

In the interests of party political balance, I should probably stick the boot in for this one too, but dynasties are rather the point of the Tories, aren't they?
