From the page: "Keith Vaz, Labour chairman of the Home Affairs Committee, defended Home Secretary Jacqui Smith for offering concessions to MPs in an attempt to win them over. One thousandth of one per cent of the bribery I suspect corrupts the entire system in the uk. Shadow home secretary David Davis gives his reaction "That is the nature of government. How dreadful it would be that the government should decide on a particular course of action and then not consult with anyone else," he said."
