Rumbled by the nation – one man’s embarrasment

I’ve done some tough gigs in my time. Speaking in front of a crowd is never easy.

Spare a though then for the husband of home secretary Jacqui Smith, who had to face the nation’s press at the weekend and apologise for purchasing “jazz” movies on his wifes expense account, presumably for the purpose of “having a game of solitaire” whilst watching them.

Richard Timney’s cringeworthy apology is one of the news highlights of the week and I felt the need to blog about it. Poor sod. Having to stand in front of the press corp and admit you’ve been having one off the wrist.

Mortifying.
