David Cameron took a break from effortlessly shrugging off questions about his impeccably private pre-fame private life to travel to Sweden and drive a bus, flanked by a terrifically excited but slightly nervous-looking George Osborne (check out those white knuckles).
The Tory leader, the shadow chancellor and Oliver Letwin, the Tories' policy coordinator, are in Sweden to ask its centre-right prime minister how he overturned a leftwing government after more than ten years, and examine the country's green transport measures, hence the visit to the headquarters of Scania, the bus and truck manufacturer.
(Read the serious stuff here.)
Margaret Thatcher is often quoted - perhaps apocryphally - as having said that "a man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure". What would she have said about a man who, aged 40, can show such apple-cheeked, boyish delight in driving one?
