One Laws for Parliament and another for the others. If there is the slightest scintilla of evidence that this story is true, will Parliament immediately ask the police to enforce the law and charge the miscreant with Perverting the course of Justice? No!
Will the Lib/Dems hold up their hands and say that now in two instances their judgment is impaired? No!
Political Parties accept responsibility for the misdeeds of THEIR representatives? Answer that yourself.
Huhne's damning phonecall: Cabinet Minister's attempt to silence claims he 'tried to dodge speeding points'
- Climate Change Secretary accused of cover-up
- Lying to police could lead to a jail term for 56-year-old
- 'He does drive a bit like a maniac,' admits ex-wife
- Tip-off came from source close to bisexual lover
Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne's Cabinet future was in doubt last night after sensational details were revealed of a phone call he made to the person he allegedly persuaded to take his speeding points so he could avoid a driving ban.
The phone call, which is corroborated by taped evidence, flies in the face of the Liberal Democrat MP's repeated public denials of the allegations.
It suggests that in private the Energy Secretary is involved in a desperate attempt to cover up the truth to save his political career.
When the person said they were not prepared to lie, Mr Huhne offered to meet them to reassure them.
The individual protested to Mr Huhne about the way he allegedly pressured them into taking the rap for him, saying: 'It's one of the things that worried me when you made me take the points.'
The News of the World says it has access to the tape and it was obtained legally. Always thought a legal was a big bird
