A POLITICO IS the talk of the town for ‘cheapening’ what keen observers believe would have been a golden opportunity to improve stakes.

House businesses are always catered for by Parliament to eliminate any manipulation by witnesses. Another member, ashamed of his colleague’s outburst, was heard complaining about the quality of representation in the 13th Parliament. Attempts by the session chair to rein in the member came late, as the damage was already done.
