MPs' expenses

I sat down the other night and tried to think of someone in Parliament over the past few years who hasn’t tried to feather their own nest, but as soon as a face came to mind, next morning they would be exposed in the papers.

Finally, I thought of the only body whose integrity is still 100 per cent. Her name is Sadie. She hasn’t flipped homes, claimed for porn or duck ponds, or claimed £400 per month for food.

Yes, you’ve guessed it, former Home Secretary David Blunkett’s dog.
