David Laws: The First Coalition Scandal

On first reading this I was shocked, even outraged that Laws did not make his claims open earlier, but then it's since become clear that he was understandably anxious not to let his sexuality out into the open and that has clearly helped cause him problems with the current situation. In terms of being "outed" in the process, my heart goes out to him and his partner.
That said he does seem to be playing fast and loose with the definition of "partner" and whilst he has not been crooked over the financial situation, he could have worked around it at least and should certainly been a bit more honest. At the least he should perhaps take a break from his job whilst there is an investigation as Stephen Tall suggests.
