I assume that this admission is to prevent his outing becoming a moneyspinner for a tabloid &#8211; there seems to be no other reason why he would suddenly would suddenly announce this fact to his wife and the world on the eve of an [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since Nick Clegg&#8217;s poll-topping performance in Thursday&#8217;s Prime Ministerial debate, the Tories have been calling for greater scrutiny of the Liberal Democrats&#8217; policies. There is obviously a feeling that those old right-wing dog whistles of crime, immigration and Europe may provide the ammunition that Dave needs to kill the beast that Clegg has become [...]

His comments were a reaction to public disquiet about MPs expenses, and in particular a ban on MPs travelling first class. The ensuing interview, which lasted almost an [...]

It&#8217;s embarrassing that the error wasn&#8217;t picked up, but no-one&#8217;s perfect &#8211; certainly not the Tories. So whilst this headline gives some temporary amusement, it isn&#8217;t in itself proof that the Tories are unfit to run the country or are generally [...]
