Above are some facts. Or at least reported facts. The McNulty case meant that housing one's parents in the house for which an expenses claim was made was specifically prohibited. Making a prohibited claim can only have been fraudulent.


Miller declared a rented cottage in her constituency, 50 miles away, as her primary home. Convincing? I think not. She is between the devil and the deep blue sea. If that was her primary home, then the subsidised house was primarily her parents home.


But isn't it also interesting how Osborne's protege (the sex discriminator) is now in the ascendant. Surely this hints that Cameron is on the slide and Osborne, who is even further right, is jockeying for party leadership.

Curious that we now have a women's minister who thinks badly of women, and an equalities minister who thinks badly of gays.
