From The Daily MailAs the Conservatives gear up for their conference in Manchester this week, Prime Minister David Cameron has given his party a boost by announcing a new tax break for married couples.  The £1,000 tax break is expected to be available to four million couples in the UK, and beats the £750 tax break promised in the Tories' General Election Manifesto of 2010, albeit is less than the £2,000 promised in 2007...Transferring £1,000 to a spouse will mean an extra £1,000 of their earnings is taken out of tax, which will work out at an extra £200-a-year.  From The Daily MashTHE prime minister's wife has halted divorce proceedings after realising she'd lose a sweet £200-a-year tax break....  She told friends: "I had the papers all filled out, and under grounds for divorce I'd written 'Husband is David fucking Cameron'. Clearly this was an absolutely watertight argument which no judge in the land could contest.  "But then I heard about this new tax break and whoa, £200 in ready cash in my back pocket just for staying hitched? And I get that every twelvemonths? Divorce over. Viscount Astor don't raise no fools."  From The Daily MailThe Duchess of York has fueled speculation that she and Prince Andrew might remarry, admitting: 'He is still my handsome prince.'  The 53-year-old, whose 10-year marriage to the Prince, with whom she has two daughters, ended in divorce in 1996, refused to deny rumours that the pair might get back together.  Instead she said: "He'll always be my handsome prince. It's really lovely that we are still a family and the story has a happy ending all the time."
