Quotation for Today, Tuesday August 11

Labour’s biggest-spending traveller, former education minister Chris Carter, tried to duck media questions for too long last week. He finally faced reporters and later accused them of unusual interest in his travel because his partner, who he said often accompanied him, is the same sex. It was of course the amount of Mr Carter’s spending that drew attention. A heterosexual who headed Labour’s list would be under just as much pressure to explain the bills.
