- Politics Weekly UKPolitics Weekly: 31.01.2008The financing of British politics dominated the news again this week following the resignation of Peter Hain over political donations. This time the Tories faced embarrassment after a cross-party Commons committee ruled that the veteran Conservative MP, Derek Conway, had employed his son as a researcher and then failed to provide adequate evidence that he'd turned up. David Cameron withdrew the Conservative whip from Conway after initially deciding to take no action.

When Derek Conway gave his son a £5,000 bonus in May 2006, he probably didn't think he was stealing from the taxpayer. I guess he thought that he was underpaid as an MP, that generous allowances were an unofficial way of topping up his salary and that, if he chose to hire his son instead of an industrious researcher who would have been more use to him, then that was the sacrifice of a generous parent.
