Wipe your chin, David

Telegraph - Conservative expenses row: David Cameron says MPs have to be 'open and accountable': David Cameron has pledged to get tough with MPs and MEPs who break the rules over their expenses following a series of Conservative sleaze allegations... "We have got to recognise as MPs it is not enough just to meet the letter of the rules we have to be happy that everything we put in place for funding our offices is something that reasonable and practical people would look at and say 'That's OK.'"

Cow cookies!

As usual, Cameron seems like a perfectly reasonable gent until you ask him to deliver something other than a sermon.

UPDATE - Progress on a related matter... well done, Sunny!

Pandora - Dorries in blogosphere battle: Having recently faced defeat over her controversial abortion bill, Nadine Dorries is embroiled in another row - over her website. The Tory member's blog - which, of course, Pandora reads regularly - has attracted criticism for its personal attacks on opponents. One recent post included a picture of comely housing minister Caroline Flint alongside drawings of the considerably-less-comely Pinocchio. "Don't call me a liar, minister," reads the entry. "It will come back to bite you." Sunny Hundal, editor of the Liberal Conspiracy blog, complained to the Parliamentary Standards Commission, voicing concerns that Dorries may fund the site with taxpayers' money. "We noticed it a few weeks ago," Hundal tells me. "We've got a letter saying the complaint is to be taken seriously." Dorries denies using public money. The Commissioner has written urging Dorries to make her funding arrangements known.
