I would never have used Peter Mandelson's phrase about being relaxed about people getting filthy rich. But should Lionel Messi – or an investment banker – earn more in a week than a nurse earns in five years? You can debate that, but I don't know the answer.
He doesn't know the answer? Here he is, an ex-Labour Prime Minister, and he doesn't know whether a footballer or a banker should earn so much more than a nurse. Amazing.
It might have been more tactful to say "Of course not" and then add some waffle about the inability of governments to control market forces.

But surely he must be relaxed about since in his retiral he has become filthy rich himself or am I missing something?
