Can we renew ourselves?

An interesting question here for Parliament. Several MPs spoke yesterday on the need for renewal, and for the new Speaker to bring this about.

I have to say I am not overly optimistic. I thought the allegations of Tory sleaze from a decade ago had disappeared, but we now realise they had simply been transferred to an equally unpleasant system of claiming "expenses".

I hope and pray (genuinely) I am wrong on this.
