Agreed. And a better read than the money tree line.

Getting a bit tiresome now. Anyway, really interested to see if the investigations do reveal that at any point someone said "Let's pop these panels on instead and save a few quid - what's the worst that could happen?"

I'm so fed up with this, and hearing an independent political observer on Five Live yesterday evening saying (and I paraphrase) "Of course Jeremy Corbyn is making political capital out of this - it's how it works" to the utter disbelief of the presenter who pretty much said "Can't all...
