Straw is in deep kaka, he only repaid the council tax today after the telegraph nailed him on it, just been on sky.
Nadine Dorries is having an absolute shocker on Question Time.
Will you be carrying a LabourLost link on your blog again soon, Mr D?
The Telegraph expose is a full 10 page spread dossier, christ this is going to be a rigt barrel of laughs.
Just when you thought nothing could possibly be worse (for the govt AND our own self respect as a nation) than Joanna Lumley exposing government crass ignorance and plain stupidity (and those are the kind ways to put it) over their dealings with the Gurkhas, and all on live TV ...
- we get the amazing totally unbelievable absolutely incredible news that the PM, the son of the manse, Big G, the top man, Gordon himself, has paid his own brother £6500 to clean his home. (which home BTW, nr 10, the manse or some other domicile?)
Just how untidy is he anyway? Are cleaning bills acceptable ? Inbleedingcredible.
No doubt Labour are desperate to read about the Tory expenses ... but if today don't go down in political folklore then no day deserves to.
The funniest thing I saw tonight was Nadine Dorries claiming that Trident Nuclear Weapons were NOT weapons of mass destruction. LOL
I'm glad that everytime I may be thinking that the Tories aren't so bad after all - someone like Nadine or Pickles on QT remind me just how out of touch some of the Tories are.
I sometimes wonder how the hell we ended up with TWO idiotic political parties to choose from - you would have thought that we could at least have one decent party to choose from in this country.
High time we had PR and some decent political parties to vote for.
I think Straw should resign, this is absolutely scandalous. Actually sky made a mistake, this is much worse.

In May 2008 the High Court ruled that MPs’ expenses must be published. Two months later the Justice Secretary returned the difference, covering four years’ payments, to the Commons authorities with a hand-written note. “I have been checking my claims since 04 and I have realised that my claims for council tax have been incorrect,” he wrote. Blaming an oversight of his “zero occupancy discount” he added: “I’m afraid that the reality of life over the last few years is that I’ve often had to complete the claims in marginal time and without recourse to all the records.”
IF YOU OR I DID THIS WE WOULD DOWN THE POLICE STATION, BANGED UP AND INLAND REVENUE WOULD BE THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNTS WITH A FINE TOOTHCOMB.
STRAW RESIGN NOW.
