Now I remember why I can't stand politicians, and ex-politicians. Thought the way he dealt with the question about ministers expenses was masterful and certainly changed my mind with reference to the legitimacy of some of the much publicised expenses claims. I thought his contention that wrongful claims were not tantamount to fraud and therefore not punishable by a term at her majestys pleasure - particularly if you are the leader of the conservatives - was bang on the money. I suggest the next time we see an mp we should all open our wallets and repeat the sacred oath "help yourself".
