Cherie Blair faced fresh accusations today of cashing in on her marriage to the Prime Minister.

The Conservatives formally demanded new Whitehall rules to forbid her from giving lucrative lectures about her life at No 10.

Shadow leader of the Commons Christopher Grayling wrote to the Government in unusually hostile terms to condemn her plan to give a paid speech to 2,500 people in Washington next week on the eve of her husband's official talks with George Bush. The event is estimated to be earning her tens of thousands of pounds and follows a previous lecture tour to Australia.

Mr Grayling wrote: "It is clear that these two visits were designed to make significant amounts of money for the Blair family.

1. The Tories have had it in for Cherie for some time

She's a high-profile lawyer; the Right thinks a woman's place is somewhere else.

2. She's their best weapon. She and Poodle are products of the

Reagan/Bush1 and Thatcher masterplan for Tory Lite - the crime gang masquerading as New Labour.

Now they're spinning like crazy that she's the bogeywoman. When they created this particular Frankenstein in the first place.
