Time to come clean, Ming

[Sweder]

Poor old Simon Hughes; hounded out of the closet by the unpleasant hacks at The Sun. Frankly the issue of sexuality is a little passé these days, even for politicians. But we do seem to enjoy salacious headlines – I guess we get the press we deserve, although to be honest I’m far more upset by the infinite rewards offered to the duplicitous Swede than any titter-filled mutterings about politicians’ personal preferences. I’m left wondering what else can possibly appear to upset the already rickety Lib Dem apple cart.

Come on Ming; it’s only a matter of time before some snot-nosed guttersnipe publishes revelations about your previous life as a transvestite poll-dancer . . .
