Blimey - When will it all end? Those who are meant to rule us & entertain us appear to be the ones who have greatest difficulty keeping it in their trousers, it would appear.

I'm genuinely shocked. Agreed, he's a scumbag as is Nigel Evans if these allegations are true and he can rot in jail for the rest of his natural.

The Right Honourable Member appears to have been upstanding where he shouldn't have been and pushing his own policies through the back door.

Very amusing. Could probably do with an 'allegedly' in there somewhere.
