Beneath the social facade of this story of sexual privacy (however valid) is one of pure double standards: a millionaire politician and former Goldman Sachs banker using public money to pay for his partner’s mortgage.
Most people borrow money when they have none themselves- that’s why they borrow it. What Laws did is to take £40,000 of public funds with no strings attached and spend it on a house, when he had more money in his bank account(s) than the average person will earn in a lifetime.
As if that was not bad enough, he is the man who has only recently laid out what are fashionably called “austerity” measures but could reasonably be called “severity” measures- aimed at hacking the public sector to bits in order to pay for a crisis created by international finance.
