Gordon Brown And The Westminster Expenses Rules
It appears our UK Prime Minister, ex-Chancellor and man who knows a lot about money, may have broken the rules about sub-letting his taxpayer-funded office in Kirkaldy - the rules which state that an MP "may not sublet accommodation which you lease and pay for out of the allowances".
Now, is it just me, or does this not sound familiar?
Was one Henry McLeish not forced to resign as Scotland's First Minister in 2001 because of something similar, paving the way for the joys of Jack McConnell's disastrous reign?
There is, of course, a major difference between the two cases in that, whatever the outcome, Hell will freeze over before we see Brown go.
