The former Tory premier’s son has endured the worst year of his life. In 2005 he was convicted in South Africa of attempting to fund a coup to overthrow the president of Equatorial Guinea, fined £265,000 and given a four-year suspended jail term. He also announced the end of his marriage after his wife moved to America with their children.
