I cannot believe the the extraordinary hypocrisy (tell a lie, yes I can) of the Tory party.
I am listening to bits and pieces of the Speaker's statement and questions about the arrest of Tory MP Damian Green and the search of his offices by the Metropolitan Police.
Most extraordinary of all was the arrested party - one Damian Green. He wants to make it clear that members of parliament are not above the law.
But it seems he's quite happy for parliamentary privilege to extend to getting up and making a speech in the House of Commons while under investigation.
Twat.
It seems highly unlikely that Damian Green was leaked any information that was of any significance - if he was then things will get very interesting over the next week or two - but the mock outrage that parliamentarians should be be absolved from any responsibility for the receipt of stolen goods just beggars belief.
Particularly helpful of Mad Monk Boris Johnson to say as Chair of the London Police Authority that no charges should be forthcoming. After he had a meeting with Damian Green. No political interference there then.
These Tories! They just don't think the rules apply to the Burlington Club and their cronies.
