Apparently the Tories are running shitless scared over all the sordid details the expenses report will reveal at the end of summer. Presumably they’re going to spend the summer maxing out their expenses, as I’m guessing the report won’t detail the most recent expense claims….

Who’s to say who will emerge with the most mud on them, Labour or the Tories, once these details come to light? I imagine Labour will do its best to label the Tories “toffs” and “part-timers” (both valid) unless of course the same labels can be applied to many Labour MPs.
