So this failure as Speaker, the first Speaker to have to resign, has ended up in the House of Lords where he will be able to stuff his face at our expense and expect people to pay due respect to him. I trust that an incoming Conservative government will deal with Michael Martin in a similar way to that with which the Labour government dealt with Lord Archer.

You would hardly have noticed this story if you only got your news from the BBC. Sickening. Your headline says it all.
I'm also getting really sick of hearing interviewer after interviewer asking tough questions on expenses only to those who think MPs should pay up and shut up (such as the wonderful Sir Alistair Graham) while giving apologists for all those poor hard-done-by troughers an easy ride.
Question after question from interviewer after interviewer has been banging on about how unfairly the've been treated. (Not unfairly enough, if you ask me.) Is it because the interviewers are worried we might start getting mad about their pay and expenses too?
Is theis the reform the Labour Party promised? No more hereditary peers, just a chamber stuffed to the rafters with NuLab cronies and hangers-on
