I have just got back from London where I took part in the G20 TUC protest - Put People First. 30,000 trade unionists on the march to express their wish for a world rid of greed, debt and neo-liberalism.
Before setting off home this morning I caught the headlines re Jacqui Smith and the latest farrago involving expenses and "adult" films. Truly shaming and embarrassing stuff.
It's a strange irony that PPCs need to live lives of seemingly ascetic virtue - while Cabinet Ministers can milk the taxpayer of thousands and use their dosh to rev up their husband's libidos. Is it any wonder people are losing faith in Labour.The hypocrisy and double standard is frankly breathtaking.

It seems that some senior Labour MPs can stick their noses in the Westminster trough (Smith & McNulty) and think that it's their right - maybe it's difficult having to live on a ministerial salary (£142K + expenses). While PPC's are expected to live the lives of monks / nuns for fear of bringing the Party into disrepute. Oh well only 13 months more of this shower.
