Politics Latest: Sordid Details

A spokesman told the Shoebox:

"It was the excessive expenses claims for laundry that drew our attention to the whole tawdry affair."

However, when pressed, he would not be drawn to disclose any specific details.

"Frankly" he remarked "I was disgusted at what we found. We're talking about a very DIRTY DIRTY person here. Politics may have it's problems, but nothing like this."

" This was the sort of thing that you'd expect in the back streets of Phuket, or in a Zoo, or possibly amongst certain showbiz types; but certainly not in the mother of parliament!"

"Now if you would excuse me, I'm going to take a good long shower!"
