Mrs Clegg’s unappetising rant against ‘fake’ Farage
Nick clegg’s wife Miriam Gonzalez Durantez hasn’t ruled out following her husband into politics, as i revealed this week.
And she is certainly upping the ante when it comes to taking on her rivals. She has now lashed out at former UkiP leader Nigel Farage on her food blog Mum And Sons, where she has published a recipe for ‘Fake Ferrero Rochers’ inspired by the loud-mouthed Brexiteer.
‘i have been thinking of making this recipe ever since i saw Nigel Farage celebrating a party at the glitzy Ritz hotel in London with a huge tray of Ferrero-Rochers,’ she writes.
‘The party was full of multimillionaire media owners, powerful journalists and people whose fortunes amount (individually) to around £800 million . . . £800 million!!
‘God knows how a privately educated man, ex-city trader, who enjoys an MEP salary and is backed by the very wealthiest part of the establishment has managed to trick so many people into making them think he is “antiestablishment”. it beggars belief.’
Surely much in the same way her privately educated husband did, since clegg attended £36,462-a-year Westminster School before eventually becoming leader of the Liberal Democrats?
The highly paid lawyer, who has released a recipe book based on the blog, even suggests covering the chocolates with ‘golden candy paper’, which ‘you can buy in Amazon very cheaply’.
‘So here you have the recipe for fake Ferrero-Rocher,’ concludes Mrs clegg. ‘As fake as the anti-establishment credentials of Farage.
‘if you manage to forget about the Farage connotations, these are actually really-really nice.’
it’s not the first time that Miriam, 48, has cast aspersions on the culinary tastes of her adversaries.
in the summer she revealed her horror at being presented with Hellmann’s mayonnaise alongside a roast chicken during a ‘get-to-knowyou’ dinner hosted by Samantha cameron at Downing Street.
At the time, she was accused of sneering and taking revenge on the camerons after five difficult years.
However her husband defended her comments, claiming only a person ‘sensitive’ about their kitchen skills would take offence.
