David Cameron's Dinners: A Further Five Food-Based Scandals Involving Politicians (PICTURES)

Following the stomach-churning scandal of David Cameron’s Downing Street dinner club, we’ve come to the sweeping and absolute conclusion politicians and food simply don’t mix.

Whether its former Conservative Agriculture minister John Gummer shovelling a beef burger down his four-year-old daughter’s throat in the midst of the “mad cow” disease scare, or David Miliband brandishing a banana, it’s abundantly clear never the twain shall meet.

And who could forget the day former Prez George W Bush was almost taken out by a pretzel, causing him to faint and topple off the sofa, severely bruising his face in the process?

John Prescott’s eggy run-in with an angry farmer in Rhyll and Margaret Thatcher’s association with the white stuff have also made it into our gallery…can you suggest any additions? Keep it clean and we'll add the best ones.

Ed Miliband, -clown, has no plan on the UK economy. Ed Miliband is treating people like fools.I think that the most important subject is the UK economy.

Why the personal abuse of Miliband ?,

Correct me if I`m wrong Miliband ,is the leader of the opposition of this Coalition government, I thought that this story is was response to an undercover reporter revealing that wealthy business men were willing to donate 6 figure sums for private gain To The Prime Minister of that Government .

I really cannot see how that would be of benefit to the UK Economy.
