Tony Blair - man of the people
The Mail on Sunday newspaper claimed the former Labour prime minister's team of bodyguards cost the taxpayer more than £250,000 per year on expenses alone.
An investigation by the paper revealed details on the cost of providing round-the-clock protection for Mr Blair as he took holidays and international business trips.
The paper reveals claims of more than £1,200-a-night for accommodation in hotels, limousine hire and thousands of pounds in cash for overseas trips.
The investigation lists a series of holidays including a two-week break Blair took in Borneo, where officers ran up a bill of more than £20,000
