Brand new second hand

A new broom! Time to restore public confidence after Tony’s tenure. And what better way to convince people of the value of politics and politicians than supporting legislation to exempt MPs from freedom of information laws? Even better, use arcane parliamentary procedures to push the scheme through, then claim it as a victory for democracy. That’ll have the cynics eating their words!

Apparently, according to Nick Robinson's BBC blog, Ed Balls is tabling an amendment to do just this. I'll keep you posted.
