Not me, mate!

Isn’t it great to have staff to blame? Like millionaire Tory MP G. Cox. Failed to declare hundreds of thousands of pounds of earnings outside being an MP? Which made it look like he actually spends about 10 minutes per week being an MP. Blame it on the staff.
    Have piddling little expenses claims turned down? Like claims for 49p for a pint of milk and 2 quid for a box of teabags. Blame it on the staff.
    And were there any sanctions for abusing the public trust? Not from the Parliamentary Standards Committee. Which, by some bizarre coincidence, Mr. Cox used to head.
