I was going to say that they are all part of the "establishment" but then I saw Mourinho and Delia Smith. Can I have a second go? Those with titles gave lots of lolly to Labour!

Easy. Delia Smith buys cooking stuff at Tesco where the CEO reads The Times, the editor of which is a Chelsea supporter. Mourinho has been on the BBC. Its boss is in the same club as Sir Peter Sutherland and his best mate is Sir Gus O'Donnell cos the two of them are Irish. Cherie Booth trades Delia recipes with Ruth Kelly who has a thing for Michael Martin who reads The Times when not watching himself on the BBC or down at the club with Sutherland and O'Donnell. Mourinho is the odd one out because he's not Irish.
