   Tony Blair promised a "whiter than white" government but "say one thing, do   
   another" hypocrisy scandals - particularly over schooling - have dogged New   
   Labour from the start.   
   . Tony Blair himself: accused of hypocrisy within barely six months of   
   becoming Labour leader after boycotting local schools in Islington to send   
   son Euan to the grant-maintained London Oratory Roman Catholic school, miles   
   away from his Islington home.   
   . Lord Falconer, the Prime Minister's former flatmate, sent his daughter and   
   two eldest sons to fee-paying schools.   
   . Harriet Harman: in 1996 the then Shadow Cabinet minister sparked fury in   
   Labour ranks by sending her son to a selective grammar school. "She made the   
   Labour Party look as if we do one thing and say another," said fellow Labour   
   MP Diane Abbott.   
   . Diane Abbott: hoist by her own petard in 2003 after sending her son to a   
   £10,000-a-year fee-paying school. Even Miss Abbott, MP for Hackney North and   
   Stoke Newington, later said her decision was "indefensible".   
   . John Prescott: The Deputy Prime Minister lived up to his "Two Jags"   
   nickname, following up negotiating the Kyoto climate change treaty by   
   travelling 250 yards by car in Bournemouth.   
   . John Prescott again: Last year, Mr Prescott - then in charge of council   
   tax - was forced to apologise after it emerged he had not paid it on his   
   official London residence.
