So It Has Happened

Nobody can be immune from sympathy for David Laws. Nevertheless public money, at a time when extreme sensitivity surrounds MPs’ expenses, was involved and he was the Treasury No 2. The tragedy for him and for all of us is the ending suddenly of a career in government more widely acclaimed and respected than any other in this brave new politics.

David Cameron was both kind and generous in his letter. He was also generous to the Lib Dems, shuffling to keep the job within the Lib Dem contingent. I think he should perhaps have been tougher as my previous blog suggests. At least this way he has signalled his unwavering determination to make this coalition between two parties work no matter what. That certainly is a very good message.

Everybody now needs to get back to the job in hand. There is a lot to do.

    Spot on with this write-up, I actually suppose this website needs way more consideration. I’ll in all probability be again to learn rather more, thanks for that info.

  4. Hi, Just came back here to advise you regarding Mobile Monopoly. It is a superb system and WILL make you money, especially seeing as you own a website. Take a quick look at their video, the system is about using Mobile Advertising which is completely new and an unexposed marketplace where you can make thousands by doing hardly any work. I assure you that after you watch their short video it will change you and it will start making you think. http://mobile-mastermind.com

    After claiming to be whiter than white his credability has been severly dented and in his high cabinet role his judgement would regularly be questioned.

    Politicians need to have the courage of their convictions and be prepared to pay the price when they fail to live up to the standards they campaign for.

    Why is no one aking the right question?

    He extended his main homes mortgage to help his “partner” purchase a property that he then rented a room in and claimed it as an expense from taxpayers – it’s like me renting a room in my own house and then claiming housing benefit to pay the rent!

    For someone with reputed economic/financial acumen, this looks very dodgy.

    Lots of libdems have been speaking all day about his desire to keep his relationship private (SECRET!!!!!!) Limpet Opik speaks of the breakdown of the relationship between politicians and the press. Even Cleggy has made privacy an issue – looks very like the ground work is being laid for a push on privacy reform to be included with the review of libel laws.

    Apharently it was already common knowledge within the Westminster village that he is gay, so I do find it hard to understand why this is now an issue. The cynic in me suspects another LIBDEM agenda here.
