I would think the argument will be if it does come to light that it's the employing an unqualified driver in a post would be seen as corrupt nepotism rather than the homosexuality itself being the problem. (Although the Daily fail will see it as part of its war on those that dont conform, and the Torygraph (Which has come closest that ive seen to printing the story) will have its full on catholic morality going full steam ahead

A senior minister putting an alleged whatever-the-gay-word-for-mistress-is on expenses and supposedly giving them a job may not necessarily be a vote winner.

If this turns out to be more than tabloid tittle-tattle, it might even be considered officially beyond the duck pond.

That's harsh and probably inappropriate. I don't think Teh Gay is the issue, although the 'mistress' thing might be. And I do wonder if Hague is getting special treatment for not being Osborne's poodle.

Realistically I'd be more than a little surprised if most of the Tory Tubbies didn't have their little friends of all ages and both sexes tucked away out of sight - some bought and paid for, some used occasionally and indifferently, some not. And the same would be true of the other lot too.

It's politics, not brain surgery.
