Next week in Westminster

Alistair Darling, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who claimed parliamentary expenses for a flat that he let to tenants while also claiming living allowances for his grace and favour home in Downing Street, is ready to legislate to curb City bonuses amid alleged mounting public anger about the return of huge rewards for bankers.



The Times is reporting that the chancellor has signaled that he will change the law to ensure executive bonuses are not paid to employees whose transactions put banks at risk.

That will be another useless unenforceable law from a useless incompetent government!
