So we have the latest on the expenses of MPs. This time it is the shocking details of the Liberal Democrats. Well, there is not a lot of substance there - although Ming has looked a bit profligate.Yes, there is the fact that there are fewer LD MPs, so fewer stories. And who will have heard of them? But there is also the fact that traditionally LDs are normally “local candidates for local people” - so less likely to milk the system. Of course things may be different with Clegg and Huhne parachuted into seats - others will surely follow.

The Lib Dems do indeed seem to be avoiding most of the flak. I interviewed Elliot Morley the former Labour environment minister on Tuesday about climate change... and today he's been suspended for £16,000 of expenses claimed to pay a mortgage he'd already paid off. Another "accounting oversight".And a waste of tape.
