It's almost unbelievable, but then look at Ms. Smith's aproach to her job and its perks.
She has risen to the top of the Cabinet by dint of being hard-faced, and female, and now tries to volte face the whole notion by playing the 'poor female me' card.
That would be disgustingly santimonious for anyone .... except someone who systematically exploits the letter of parliamentary rules, whilst continually ignoring the planet-sized immorality of her claims and refusing to see why the British public find her actions so reprehensible.
Add to that being married to a man with the brass neck to claim for his pron entertainment from the tax payer, and you can see that she is, was, and always has been utterly unstuited to either post as Home Secretary, or as an MP - even though she will be loosing both posts in the not to distant future.
The rest of them simply carry on - and that is the deepest shame of all.
