THAT Parliament has been forced to reveal its booze bill has tripled in two years, reaching nearly £2 million, proves correct the Government’s assertion that austerity is working; but unfortunately only for a select few.

It also answers the question, how do these people sleep at night?

However it does raise another question.

What does the Speaker really mean when he shouts ‘Order, Order’ to these incredibly thirsty protectors of the British peoples’ democracy?
