With one decisive and possibly election-clinching press conference, Call Me Dave has taken the initiative in the expenses fiddle – saying that all his MPs will be forced to pay back their expense claims, as well as setting out stringent new guidelines for Conservative MPs. Isn’t it weird that only now that certain Labour Ministers are saying that they will do likewise…saying that, some people are far, far worse than those mentioned already….
What does this do in regards of the media narrative? The argument being that Chairman Brown is now following Cameron in everything that he does on this and pretty much every other important issue right now. Labour needs someone who can lead right now, something that Gordon is not exactly doing too well….
Of course, it is good that Blears has now decided to pay back all £13k of her Capital Gains Tax, but that is not the point, it is what it shows to the electorate. Gordon is following Dave, and is not in control…
And as I said last night, it seems that the knives are out for the Speaker… and it will only get worse, my stomach thinks something even dirtier is going to come out sooner rather than later…
