    Daily Star?
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

      It was broadcast loud and clear on Beeb Radio yesterday afternoon.

        I watched the news yesterday afternoon and it was 4 or 5th on the list.

        Oh, and the scotsman.

          Thieving, corrupt, unethical and incompetant politicians are not exactly news anymore
          There are no evil thoughts except one: the refusal to think

            They've been suspended from Labour - does that actually mean anything?

                Maybe Labour can stick the knife in and get rid of them, and then claim decisiveness on sleaze in the runup to the election.
                Yes, I thought it was a little coincidental that these two were suddenly in the frame and as per this mornings news, now expelled from the PLP. He's a sly bugger that Mandy.

                  What's happened to the Tory who was banging on about being even more use when he gets to the Lords?

                    Sir John Butterfill. No news on his fate yet. He was embroiled in the expenses row and voluntarily paid back £17,500.

                    Butterfill is one of the 98 MPs who voted to keep their expense details secret.

                    I wouldn't be surprised to hear he was standing down at the next election, possibly to "spend more time with his family".

                      He's not going to be a lord!
