Hague may be suffering overt the second incomes controversy

I see that the latest Conservative Home survey of Shadow cabinet ministers sees William Hague rapidly falling from favour with the grass roots.

Maybe this is due to his standing up against Cameron's edict on giving up second incomes

He fell 12 per cent but stil remains in third place on 73 per cent trailing Eric Pickes and Chris Grayling

Other noticeble moves,a recovery for the beleagured George Osborne up 28 points to No 14 but spare a thought for Nannygate's Caroline Spelman who props up the table at -10 per cent

Spelman takes advantage of the nanny state

The Tory sleaze scandal continues to rumble.

Now come reports that Party chairman Caroline Spelman is to face a Parliamentary inquiry into claims that she paid her nanny to act as her constituency secretary.

The story broke last night on Newsnight which tracked down the former nanny Tina Haynes who said that she had done no secretarial work other that answering the phone a couple of times a week.

Although this took place 11 years ago,it rounds off a bad week for David Cameron after the problems of Den Dover and Giles Chichester
