Look, it's no big deal that David Cameron left his eight-year-old daughter in a pub and didn't discover his mistake until he and the rest of the family got back to Chequers. As we've all been thinking since hearing the overnight news, many people have left their kids in the pub or the baby on the bus, including many prime ministers.

Churchill's son, Randolph, was rarely out of one pub or another. Gladstone's son, Herbert, was not only left in the pub – Dad was always popping in for a few G&Ts on those long walks of his – but left in the charge of the Home Office during William Gladstone's fourth and last administration (1892-94). As for Tony Blair, didn't his eldest find his own way into a pub and end up in a gutter?
