Home Office questions threw up some bizarre moments yesterday. Sir Nicholas Winterton called for "harsher" penalties against young hoodlums. Antisocial behaviour was, he said, a serious matter. It should be treated a bit more harshly and a bit more transparently. Nothing unusual there, you might think. Sir Nicholas's mindset is, in Alexander McCall Smith's phrase, "traditionally built". He harks back...

The ex-shadow home secretary turned Parliamentary hopeful has hard words for Helping Hands Word reaches my ear of tummy troubles on the Finance Bill where the frightful humiliation of his family's publicly funded housing wheeze failed to put Sir Nicholas Winterton off his food.

‘Boring is best’ was the tea-room verdict on today's budget. Only Diane Abbott and Nicholas Winterton actually went to sleep as far as I could see, but hundreds were tempted. Having witnessed 20 budgets today's was not going to be...
