Although he put up a vigorous defence of his position, Shahid Malik has stepped down as Justice minister. He hasn't resigned, but is awaiting his name being cleared. The allegations made by the Daily Telegraph are detailed. Mr Malik says he stuck "a million per cent by the rules" and said some of the paper's claims were a "fabrication". And he called for the "bloodfest" of media coverage of expenses to stop.
It appears that Mr Malik has taken some favourable interpretation of the rules. I do wish he had thought a bit more about the television. He's just given the BNP another club to batter him with!
