I'm pleased to see that some of the worst proponents of community division are getting some form of come uppance but I worry greatly about the effect this is going to have at the ballot box.

At our expense.Dalyell made the racist claim that Blair was unduly influenced by a "cabal of Jewish advisers", some of whom were not Jewish but perceived as such by those of Dalyell's ilk. Personally I'd like to see Baroness Tonge exposed. Before being unjustifiably elevated to the House of Lords, as an MP in the last Parliament, she maintained a flat near Westminster, despite the fact that her Richmond Park constituency was barely 10 miles away. Although this was pre-2005, I still think that it stinks for an outer London MP living relatively close to Central London to have two homes. Other neighbouring LibDem MPs Vince Cable & Ed Davey (whose constituencies were slightly further out) did not claim for second homes. I wonder if she continued to make expenses claims for the central London property after going to the House of Lords? This is something I haven't yet seen in the papers.
