Jacqui Smith has had a ‘horrible’ time with our money

Public sympathy is the name of the game.  First Brown, in his Guardian interview, and now Jacqui Smith looks for the same over her expenses claims.

Thankfully we were spared any tears.

On the issue of her resignation - which came days before a host of other ministers quit - she said the news had been leaked early against her wishes.

What a surprise!  Since when has Brown taken others into consideration?

These MPs just don't get it and possibly never will.
