There is a stain on the character of this Government that will be erased only by a new Government with a fresh mandate, who will restore confidence in our public life for good - no, not Hain, anything to do with passports, dodgy loans, the purchase of exemptions from advertising bans etc. etc.
The most serious stain is that of the dirt in our hospitals and filthy little bugs like MRSA and C Difficile which have claimed so many innocent lives. Labour have promised a £50m deep clean to tackle the problem. Opposition to this now arises from a most unlikely quarter . . . the cleaners themselves. Today's Guardian newspaper reports:
"The government's £50m "deep clean" of England's hospitals is a waste of money that will do little to tackle the spread of superbugs, cleaning companies said today.
Firms carrying out the deep cleans, trumpeted by the prime minister, said that the money would be better spent improving day-to-day cleaning.
The Cleaning and Support Services Association (CSSA), which represents many hospital cleaning contractors, said the benefits of deep cleans would soon be lost without better daily cleaning."
Oh dear.
