Tom Harris MP Exit Interview: Spending More Time with his Blog
In last week’s Britblog Roundup I covered the story that Tom Harris MP, the Rail Minister, had been shown the exit door in Gordon Brown’s reshuffle.
Tom gave a superb interview to BBC Today in Parliament yesterday (10 October).
The interview went out at 11:50pm on a Friday, so it was easy to miss and I thought I’d post the item here. It is about 10 minutes long.
Click through on the title for the interview.
Tom Harris MP is a very brave man … wins Max Miller Award
Tom Harris MP, this morning (just), on the Haltemprice and Howden by-election.
What a waste of two hundred grand*

I have to acknowledge his chutzpah. A Government Minister complaining about £200k as a “waste of public money”. This is of Charge of the Light Brigade quality.
So I present Tom Harris with a Max Miller Award for being a Cheeky Chappie beyond the call of duty, but he doesn’t need the snazzy tie he already has one of those.
