Watching - and sharing - the anger at the abuse of privilege shown by the UK's MPs, it's remarkable how much time it's taken for any of the main party leaders to take a credible position. Today, as the second set of details of his members' expenses are made public, the leader of the opposition has declared that he will consider imposing penalties on his party. Meanwhile the Prime Minister has finally managed to say sorry, but has made no public statement about restitution or punishment.At the moment, the leadership opportunity is to mitigate and minimise damage. Whilst Gordon Brown lurks, not just his party's, but parliament's reputation continues to freefall.
