Tomorrow… the Tories and their expenses claims? … That should be a laugh… possibly… After all, Labour MPs are supposed to be socialists, not as well heeled as their brothers iand sisters from the Opposition benches. It will be interesting (and hopefully, amusing) to see if The Tories are still as greedy and self serving as they were in the Thatcher era.
