So now we know. It's not just the Housing Minister with his houses or the Home Secretary with her homewares and multi media entertainment options. The expenses fiasco goes right to the top.
And more than that, veteran back benchers who should know better - especially people like Sir Stuart Bell MP - attack not the wrongdoing that is before them, but the press and anyone else who whistle blows. Chequebook journalism? At least the Telegraph wrote a cheque with it's own money and not ours. Statements from the Prime Minister that the system is "wrong" and "needs to change" just add insult to injury. Sorry is when you repay the cash, and they're not planning to do that, are they?
The entire Parliamentary Labour Party seems to have forgotten what it is for. They seem more interested in how far they can stick their hands in the till than fixing the country. They come across rotten to the core, unfit for public office.
