    JT should have had the decency to do the same thing - they are both innocent until proven guilty

    Good riddance to limp wrister Huhne. He's responsible for a lot of energy bill inflation due to his backing of green and renewable nonsense.

    Dangerous and delusional: Energy Secretary Chris Huhne's obsession with renewable energy will cost us billions

    I hope his replacement shows a bit more bottle in bringing the utility companies to book

    Expenses info

    As part of the Daily Telegraph investigation into expense claims by MPs, Huhne was reported to have claimed for various items including groceries, fluffy dusters and a trouser press. In 2006, he claimed £5,066 for painting work on his garden fences and chairs. He collected £119 for a mahogany Corby trouser press from John Lewis but later said he would repay the cost in order "to avoid controversy". He later claimed on a live Channel 4 news programme that he needed the trouser press to "look smart" for work.In June 2010, it was revealed that in the second half of 2009, a period after the expenses scandal news story became known, Huhne claimed £14,948 in expenses, including some minor amounts such as a bill of 14 pence for stationery. The claim also included costs incurred in servicing an old boiler at his constituency home.

    Huhne? Shopping for *brown trousers?? I'd have thought he'd have plenty pairs of those already ... since I'll bet he's crapping himself a lot lately after revelations of his deceit ...

    They'll certainly be steaming of something when he takes them out of his blinkin trouser press.

    He's got the sneering arrogance that it wouldn't come to this, doesn't come over too well when you look at what he's got up to with his MP's expenses and there was a probe into allegations over his election expenses
