If you want a perfect example of the way in which this Government legislates in a vacuum, with an eye solely to tomorrow's headlines, it is hard to beat the latest proposal to make expenses cheating by MPs a distinct criminal offence.
Don't they know it's illegal already? That it has been for many many years? That the proposed new law is a waste of paper and of Parliament's time?
I have previously written of offences charged under Victorian laws, bypassing the mass of recent legislation.
Parliament and Government have many more important things to occupy them. This is pathetic.
Later:-
Marcel Berlins feels the same way.
