Jacqui Smith, the former home secretary, arranged for two day-release prisoners to paint her home when they should have been doing community work.

Lessons learned.. honest mistake, donation given..... etc etc.

/sounds like the start of a bad porn film...

I think Jacqui Smith has to be the most singly useless Home secretary of modern times and since leaving office has managed to display a level of stupidity that one would hope didn't exist in politics but clearly does.

She should go and become a magistrate or something else that gives her a sense of power but no real danger of ruining things for people on a permanent basis.

I just read this: “If he watched porn films, I can argue with him about that. But if he makes a silly mistake on a claim form, and I am silly enough to sign it, that should not undermine everything he has contributed to my career and everything we have got together as a relationship.”

Why would the husband be filling in her claims forms for her job?

I assume so that she can claim wages for him as a 'clerical assistant'.

She is the embodiment of New Labours "do as I say, not as I do" mentality.

Yeah, but at least his dog knew what he was doing. Kipping in the House of Commons IIRC, for one thing.

No shock. All of Blair's 'Babes' seem to be repugnant in every sense of the word.

Oh thats harsh on Blunkett, he tried to do things that we didn't like but if it wasn't his own crisis was quite smart and did react well to crises. Jacqui Smith always looked out of her depth when anything went vaguely wrong and seemed to have only been picked because they were running out of people to take the job and wanted to have the headline of having the first female Home Secretary.

Although, the next evening the edit made it clearly look the other way around. Harpie frothing about Tory cuts and snaps back to Gove silent and red faced.

More than once his legislation proved to be absolute rubbish. His criminal law act lasted little longer than a fortnight.

Another bit of his legislation confused me so I went to a CPS lawyer and he explained that it was against national law, EU law and the HR act.

He may or may not have been good in a crisis. Let's face if, he organised so many catastrophies that practice alone must have made him fairly good at coping with the fallour.

Her defence is "they had nothing else to do"

how did such a brain get to the possition she did?

She is a living breathing argument against possitive discrimination.

I think you'll find it's her husband and his 'art' collection.

I think she just needs a good hard gang bang to shag some sense into her.

i'm not offering like just saying.
