Peter File Posted 31 May 2010 Posted 31 May 2010 I'm very disappointed. I really liked David Laws as the LD Education spokesman and I thought he'd been the shining star of the coalition so far. Its a shame that this scandal has come out, there was no chance that he could continue in his role and I think the cabinet will be all the poorer without him in it. Not trying to defend his actions. You would say it was at best naive incompetence. Whatever was going through his mind, he should have realised that it was a mistake to claim the money and rectified it, especially after the expenses scandal of last year. I don't think his personal life really makes any difference. I wasn't that surprised to be honest! Its a shame that he was outed to his family because of this, but it doesn't change the fact that he made a big mistake. As for Danny Alexander, doesn't sound like a big deal. I'm sure it'll blow over, although doesn't look that great for the government!
