• The post you are reporting:
   
  Impressive performance by DC at his press conference. He at least has taken positive action where Brown has taken none and showed real anger.
  
  This is what he has done:
  
  No more flipping.
  Paying back all the dodgy money.
  Capital Gains Tax will be paid by MPs on second homes where expenses have covered interst payments.
  All Tory MPs expenses go online immediately, from now on for transparency.
  A scrutiny committee who will review all Tory MP expense claims and will order repayment where necessary and any who refused will no longer be Tory MPs.
  No more food, furniture and household bills on expenses.
  He even said he would be paying back his one and only claim for property maintenance - good move.
  
  He also dropped a big hint to local Conservative Associations that they can deselect any MP who they believe cannot justify himself. That is about as far as he can go in that without being accused of intefering in a local Party.
  
  That is a pretty good response within the limits that he can operate as merely the leader of the opposition.
  
  He has once again stolen a march on Gordon Brown who still seems to be hiding in his bunker and not saying anything positive or taking firm action.
  
  Tomorrow we will see what is revealed about the LibDem MPs.
