The commons debate on political party funding.

I've been listening for about half an hour and Jack Straw has just shot himself right in the foot. In response to accusations of breaking the law, Labour have been bleating on about Lord Ashcroft's tax status. However when Jack was asked about the tax status of Labour's biggest individual donors , he said it was a matter for the Inland Revenue - CLASSIC! To make matters worse, when Jack was asked if any of the dodgy £650,000 had been paid back, he said he didn't know. Finger on the pulse Jack.

UPDATE: Well the main part of the debate is over. What was clearly evident was Labour's total lack of regret. There was talk of anger and disappointment, but the majority of Labour's comments were made in an attempt to portray the Tories and LibDems as being as sleazy as themselves. What angers me the most as a voter, rather than a Conservative party member, is the way Labour ministers sit on the front bench, laughing and joking without the slightest remorse for having broken the law.

There is now, absolutely no chance of these supposedly honorable people resigning. I only hope that the police can collate the evidence that is obviously there, and those involved receive the maximum punishment for their crimes.
