Telegraph: Reports that former Liberal Democrat Cabinet Minister David Laws will be suspended from the House of Commons for seven days and made to make an apology to the House for breaching the expenses rules. Folks this is a slap on the wrist, a light slap at that, if it was you or me folks and this was welfare we would be up in Court, it would even mean prison time. But in the House of Commons if you fiddle your expenses you get thrown out for seven days, big punishment, both David Cameron and Nick Clegg have stated that they want Laws back in the Cabinet, this would be a big mistake, perhaps in a few yeas but not NOW, and not next year, this mild slap will not go down well with the voter.
