 | | When Cherie married Tony (they were both young lawyers and prominent members of the local labour branch) she made a decision to concentrate on law, and a family. |
 | | After all, her socialist pedigree is better than Tonys: her grandfather was a miner and her father, who played Alf Garnetts layabout son-in-law in Till Death Do Us Part, is seen as something of a class warrior, and her mother worked in a chip shop to support her daughters, after Tony Booth left her. |
