Huhne Gone

[AtW]

This is simply a case of a wife spurned and seeking revenge.

Well, if his wife could not trust him despite having a chance to know him better than anybody else, what hope do the voters get to trust him? That alone (cheating on wife and going away from her) should have been reason to resign.

The fact that she has committed an equally serious crime and is admitting to it is seems to have passed her by.

She will get let off with slap on her risk for cooperating with police fullly and probably claiming she did that under duress or something.

It's a pity that to get incompetent idiot from the Cabinet takes charging him with criminal offence carrying maximum sentence of life in jail ...

Who would have bet that the people that would resign from the cabinet would all be Lib Dems rather than Tories???

They have probably been leading a quite normal lives on the basis that they would never get in to power, so no one would peak under their carpets...

I think Clegg should take the nuclear option.

And take his useless self serving MPs with him back to the safety of the back benches

That is pathetic and lazy. If you bothered to follow Huhne across all media you will see what an odius little jerk he is.
He is also a wealthy ex city entrepreneur and should therefore fall into your "deserves whatever he gets" Tory style stereotype.

Any senior Libdem that puts his head above the parapit suddenly finds himself in trouble, Laws/Cable/Huhne. Cameron and Osbourne are running the show, orchestrating everything.

Apparently Captain chettino is going to invoke the Huhne defence. His wife was driving at the time.

No honour amongst thieves. Fiddling expenses, house switching, off-shore tax havens, you name it -

How has trust become so abused?

Sorry? Are you talking about me or MPs?

Hi is STILL protesting his innocence though... Surely if he did do it then the CPS now has video evidence and he doesn't have a leg to stand on?
