I was going to ask if she was going to populate the cabinet with eggs or something lol I read that as: Jackie Smith to larvae cabinet!

Not before time, IMO.

She's terrible and always has been.

Not a moment too soon in my opinion.

She was a bordering on hysterical on Newsnight, I thought Jonono...really highly strung.

That was almost certainly the catalyst for all the subsequent can of worms revalations.

Never has a dodgy video rental caused so much mayhem Mind you, you gotta feel sorry for the bloke (being married to her, he could probably use all the help he can get).

Me too Beggars belief she's lasted so long, given her history of total incompetence & bungling.

Anyone remember the stunts she tried to pull with the Police's back pay?

Has it been confirmed yet?

They should all go!

Not yet. An announcement is expected this afternoon.

Just hoping it's not a false alarm!

The sooner she goes the better.

Was she on Newsnight last night?
I only managed to watch the Harriet Harman bit.

This is my point about British Society in the last two decades. It applies to most decision making, and not only in politics, mind.
Knee jerk reactions.
No Plan B.

She wants to spend more time with her family keep a closer eye on hubby and stop him ordering any more luke-warm porno

Completely agree with the lack of Plan B options. So, what can be done when Plan A performs spectacularly BADLY?

I think Politics is getting too political!

I still maintain that the Telegraph embarked on a very dangerous trend. They, or whoever the people are behind all this, are the ones who should be looking at Plan B.
Where will it all stop?
Or are they just singling out MPs?

Well hippy, Johnson can't be any worse.
Or can he......I've said that about so many of them.

Interesting viewpoint and, again, I completely agree. But (and there's always a "but") are you saying that, after sounding the alarm to raise public awareness, the Telegraph shouldn't be engaging in these protracted name & shame revalations because we're about to run out of MPs?

I agree Joe. But Ed Balls (can't help chucklin
every time I hear his name) he worries me.
Shows all the signs of being power hungry ~ what a combination eh? Power hungry and inept.

They are singling out a lot more Labour MP's than Conservative ones. They tried to have a go at Gordon Brown for the 6,grand cleaning bill but then they found Cameron had taken at least 10 times more on his second home and clearing away the Wisteria.
Although I think it is a good thing that The Telegraph highlighted the scandal of MP's scandal I think thosands of years of Parliamentary sovereingty will be undermind if the Telegraph don't stop though.

It has happened to a large extent but if things change then Parliament can recover. If the Telegraph carry on they may as well bring down the whole kit and kaboodle.
