This will be the second Standards and Privileges Committee report (due at 11.00). Derek had to repay money given to Freddie, this is in respect of his other son Henry.
Why isn’t he being charged for fraud?
UPDATE 11.00 : Ordered to re-pay another £3,757 paid to his son. A small fine. and ordered to write a written apology. Not really proportionate to the amount that was defrauded, is it?

Guido chuckled at the following exchange he had with a Tory insider:
Tory: “What’s Labour’s position on the Syria crisis?”
GF: “They say you should be talking to Russia.”
Tory: “Labour have been saying that since 1945.”
Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?
Just a thought.
