Jack Straw: David Cameron’s position this morning is breathtaking for its sheer hypocrisy

Jack Straw MP, Labour’s Justice Secretary responding to David Cameron’s speech this morning said:

“David Cameron’s position this morning is breathtaking for its sheer hypocrisy.

“Just a few months ago the Conservative Party were actively sabotaging all efforts to exclude the ambit of parliamentary privilege from the new laws on MPs expenses.

“Now Mr Cameron’s lust for an easy headline has provoked yet another bout of rank opportunism. The British public will see right through it.”
