I find it hard to believe that David Cameron can promise some of his MPs that he will look at changing the rules on expenses before April so that MPs will be able to able to claim more.

No one forces them to be MPs. If they are unable to live on £65,000 they could resign and let one of the millions they have made unemployed have a go.

Or they could step aside for an ex-robber just out of prison – they are no different to some MPs.

Not only do the Lib Dems break their promises but they talk cheap.

In an unguarded moment, Vince Cable said to reporters that he could bring down the coalition Government.

I say that would be the only good thing he could do.

Nick Clegg can carry on being Mr Cameron’s poodle. We will be waiting for him and the other Liberal traitors at the next General Election.

G Hall, Crook.

ON the day we witnessed two leaders of the coalition, I flatter Nick Clegg, holding a selfcongratulatory press conference there was chaos at Heathrow, queues at St Pancras and further scenes of weather-related mayhem elsewhere.

Their plan misfired as they found themselves in the firing line – defending some illuminating revelations from Vince Cable.

What finally emerged was a demonstration of a lack of integrity from Vince Cable, lack of leadership from David Cameron and the total inadequacy of Nick Clegg.

In view of removal of certain powers, and the humiliation of a public reprimand from the PM, most recipients might have done the honourable thing and resigned.

Not Vince Cable.

Under the circumstances, David Cameron had no choice but to sack him.

By ducking that responsibility grave doubts were cast on Mr Cameron’s ability to make decisive decisions.

As for Nick Clegg, all he could do was continue to plead the party line that the mess left by Labour was to blame.

Remember when Vince Cable famously labelled Gordon Brown “Mr Bean”. Well how about “Mr Has-been” for Vince?
