Peter Mandelson - the man who dripped pure poison into George Osborne's ear last summer - complains Alan Duncan says one thing and private and another in public. Even by political standards, this statement is breathtaking in its hypocrisy. Enough of that.
Back to Alan Duncan. He shouldn't have said MPs live on rations. They are some of the best paid people in the UK. This is total nonsense, but at the same time he didn't know he was being recorded. I fear some very good MPs hearing about this are going to decide to hang up their boots at the next general election. Politicians are treated like shit, as Alan Duncan says, but after the expenses scandal, it is hardly surprising? But if they cannot vent some anger - which we all do from time to time - is the job really worth it?
He should still stay in the Shadow Cabinet. Firing him would serve no useful purpose. He'll just have to be more careful next time he decides to vent his spleen.

That's rather well put.
