In the first, lasting seven years after he left Cambridge University with a double first in economics, he worked in the City of London as an investment banker, getting very rich as bankers do. In the second, lasting 21 years, he was a Liberal Democrat politician, aspiring to high office as politicians do. The prize came in 2010 when the party went into coalition with the Tories and Laws became Treasury chief secretary, the chancellor's number two, with a cabinet seat. Alas, after 17 days, the discovery that his parliamentary expenses claims involved "serious breaches of the rules" compelled his resignation. He returned to office two years later in the humbler role of schools minister under Michael Gove.
