David Laws Finds Eurovision A Good Time To Bury Bad News
DAVID Laws, goodbye. You know the way out, having just used it to come in. Mr Laws resigned when Eurovision was in its pomp. It was a good time to bury bad news about a gay politician forced to come out to confront allegations of wrongdoing.
From 2001 until 2009, Mr Laws had claimed up to £950 a month to rent a single room in properties owned by one James Lundie. Mr Lundie is Mr Law’s partner.
Is that so bad?
Apparently it is because MPs are banned from claiming back monies spent renting a property from partners.
But the tin lid on this story is tapped by Mr David Cameron, who replies to the Laws resignation letter:
“In your short lime at the Treasury, you have made a real difference…”
Seventeen days! Imagine the dame he could have done in five years…
