The View from the Hill on Saturday 29th May

So this is new politics - the man in charge of making cuts, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, has been found out in his creative accounting. David Laws was claiming rent for a room in his partner's house and in exposing this story we also learn that Mr Laws is gay.....perhaps it's Liberal policy.
