Smith the Stoner Scuttles Back Under Her Rock
Every one's favourite Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has announced her intention to stand down from the Cabinet at the next reshuffle, which could be as soon as this weekend.
Ms Smith, who famously shamed the Government with her admission to using weed during her uni days, has been a walking disaster at the Home Office. She has courted controversy at every turn.
In February news broke that Ms Smith had milked the Westminster cash cow by claiming second home allowance on her family home by imaginatively declaring her sister's home as her primary residence. The Parliamentary sleaze watchdog is still probing that indiscretion.
A few weeks later it transpired that her husband got his jollies by watching porn TV channels at the expense of the taxpayer.
More recently Ms Smith decided to name and shame 16 individuals who she refused entry to the UK on the basis of their political/religious opinions. One of the individuals named, controversial US shock jock Michael Savage, was absolute furious that Ms Smith published his name alongside those of convicted terrorists. Mr Savage is taking legal action against Ms Smith for her lurid comparison.
Smith is an embarrassment to the Government, who are an embarrassment to the nation as Thursday's European and council elections will show.
Her departure comes not a moment too soon.
