I may try and summon the strength to write some more about the expenses row, but I don’t really have anything to add that has not been covered elsewhere. I have to say, I disagree with your “its gone far enough” comment (which echoes the Archbishop of Canterbury’s intervention on Saturday in The Times). It is the politicians who have made the mistake here, and if there are more revelations to come, then come they must. We can’t be letting people off the hook or sweeping anything under the carpet in order to protect people’s sensibilities.

Yes, the Telegraph has “played” this in order to boost its own circulation. But at its heart, this is not a manufactured story. We must have a full catharsis.

I am looking forward to hearing your views on the current expenses scandal. Personally I think its gone far enough. Time to move on. There is something that makes me feel very uncomfortable about the glee with which the papers continue to drip feed the baying crowd.

Don’t tell me you‘ve been fiddling your expenses too? I would have thought you were a righteous part of the storm, not one needing shelter from it.
