BBC News is repoting that UK Conservative Party chairman Caroline Spelman is to face an inquiry from the UK's Parliamentary Standards Commissioner into her use of MP's expenses to pay her nanny.
If the inquiry proves she misused her expenses, it will be another nail against the leadership of David Cameron. The Conservative leader has been blessed with the same kind of media in-attention that John McCain has been blessed with. Whilst in the US, that is a mix of conservative talk radio and newspapers, as well as the moderately conservative ABC News and the rather more extreme conservative Fox News Channel, over here in the UK, there are far less sources of conservative media, mostly the newspapers, although Sky News seems to have taken a slight conservative bias recently, but nowhere near as much as the conservative press.
Cameron has largely been given a free-pass by most of the media, and it's a pass he's undeserving of. Labour has been targetted many times by the conservative press, and not all of them have been justified. It's about time David Cameron took some heat for things his party has done wrong.
