How careless. Might damage the election campaign. Yeah, fancy allowing themselves to get caught on camera. How careless. Might damage the election campaign.

Damage to democracy: nil. Like Blair is going to do Byers any favours for a couple of grand. Laughable. Surely its a six figure sum just to get him out bed these days.

For example, which companies have picked up commercial contracts with the newly nationalised Network Rail. Any Labour donors there, or has Byers accepted any work from those companies? Another event that might also need looking at again might be the deals done over Rover, Byers was involved there too if I recall correctly. If a police officer if found to be corrupt, it is normal to review all of his career for evidence of wrongdoing. So should it be with Byers and the others.

Frankly he could not convince me that water is wet and if he told me it was raining, I would go to a window and check for myself. Caught like naughty children with their hands in the sweet jar, they still profess their "innocence". This government is, perhaps, in one respect, the finest in our history. The best government money can buy... And it has been bought! Steven Byers has a lot of form for this.

So when the piggies are caught with their noses in one trough they just move onto another one. This little piggy went to the Commons, this little piggy went to the Lords, this little piggy went to the Lobby, no little piggy had none and all the little piggies went money, money, money all the way home.
