Cruel world of politics my backside.
He has had his snout in the sleaze trough for years and has now been forced to do the decent thing, for a change.
But that is nothing like as disgusting as the shameful way he was supported, backed and championed by his friend. None other than our honourable PM.
Only for that backing and support to end up in a shameful shambolic U turn.
If this was a single case it would still be bad.
But it is far from an isolated case. It is endemic.
We should feel ashamed.
But most are numb to the ongoing actions of this disgraceful government.
When I say we need to make anti-corruption laws I mean our parliament should. The Tories obviously won't, at least the current version of them won't, but opposition parties could and should put it in their manifestos and make it so. It might seem like it at the moment but the Tories won't be in power for ever.
