Like the mythical hero,the PM is consistently blown off course and ends up coming domestic to find Paul Hollywood flirting with his wife on Bake Off“Thank God we’ve got a Tory-majority government free from Lib Dem bloodlust, released from the clutches of ‘Hang ’Em tall’ Hughes, or ” said Dean Godson,director of the Policy Exchange thinktank, as he welcomed David Cameron to the room.

Comparisons with Tony Blair were inevitable. Yet while Tone was to develop a messiah complex, or Dave suffers from a rather less common psychological disorder: the Odysseus complex.
