Just been sat in the hospital waiting room watching the BBC News channel.
Specifically, some numpty MP saying how cross he is with the system. His professional adviser did the wrong thing and the MP is just a victim in all of this.
Poor thing.
(I must try that line with HMRC about my accountant and see how I get on.)
So, would they use this as a smokescreen? Of course they would.

I was wondering last night if the tolerance for the abuse of MP’s allowances was a way of keeping the rank and file quiet while the big frauds are committed. Just how many billions did B’Liar hideaway over the years and how much has the evil snot goblin got in his stash?
So why would they suddenly publish cluster bombshells like this if not as some kind of back-handed form of further support? After all, it's revealed that Tories are troughing too.

But in all seriousness, I do think its a bit of a smoke screen to deflect from the appalling mess we are currently in
