No one sensible gives a monkeys what he gets up to in his spare time - except possibly his family, who may have an understandable personal interest.
But this kind of thing plays badly with the Daily Mail headbangers who don't approve of non-missionary goings on.
Tangentially, those of us who aren't Daily Mail headbangers may be wondering if perhaps there's going to be a replay of the last Tory Tubbies meltdown, which saw two former cabinet ministers doing jail time.
