Laws must go!

I would have thought the minimum that should happen is that he is SACKED from his role of Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
Mr Laws last night apologised, so what. Any person who fiddled their expenses would be sacked as a minimum, in some cases prosecuted!
Laws, a millionaire former investment banker, had claimed up to £950 a month for five years to rent a room in two properties owned by Mr Lundie a person he had a ‘relationship with’ for nine years.
Parliamentary rules prohibit the payment of money claimed as expenses to a partner. The word partner is what Laws is hanging on to in the hope of keeping his job. “We had separate bank accounts and different social lives” he said. Come off it you have been together for 9 years living in  two homes one you helped get a mortgage. The DHSS would call that a partnership!
Go. Be sacked.
Under the terms of the agreement between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, Laws cannot be sacked without Nick Clegg’s consent which should be a no brainer. Here we have a Liberal Democrat, the party that took the moral high ground on the expenses issue while it was taking place, on the fiddle.
Between 2004 and 2007, Mr Laws claimed between £700 and £950 a month to sub-let a room in a flat in Kennington, south London which was owned by Mr Lundie. The Inland Revenue should be investigating whether Mr Lundie put this in his tax form each year.
Sack one, prosecute the other if not put on his tax form.  Its all a no brainer.
