I find it odd that a political party and their followers who claimed to want more transparency in public offfice seem to be blase about someone in their own team covering up and misleading the public.

He wasn't just paying his "landlord" he was paying his lover. There is a clear distinction here and they must be treated separately for good reason. Otherwise we'll end up with more Derek Conways.

That's why we need transparency, honesty and proper scrutiny of our elected officials. Laws fell short of all of those.

That's the issue here. Not because his critics are hell-bent on chasing homosexuals and Lib Dems out of office.
