The ink of the queen's speech is barely dry when the coalition is hit with its first scandal (is this a record?) So much for new parliament, new politics, it seems same old grubby business as usual at Westminster.
Liberal Chief Secretary to the Treasury David Laws resigned from his position administering the nation's finances after fiddling his expenses. Laws admitted he claimed expenses to pay rent to his "partner" James Lundie.
One wonders if a member of the public were caught robbing a bank if they could simply apologize, pay back the proceeds of their crime and simply be allowed to carry on as though nothing had happened. One thinks not.
