The Telegraph must be careful

It is becoming obvious that the tactic being used by MP's in order to defend themselves against the indefensible (apart from the dreadful "its all within the rules") is to pounce on the slightest inaccuracy in their reporting. A good example is Phil Woolas's tampons and women's clothing. I strongly suspect - as does Dizzy - that this was a clerical error and that the Telegraph go this minor point wrong - it doesn't detract from the general thrust of their reporting - but this defence will be used again and again: a minor error by the Telegraph will be used as a smokescreen by the MPs.

I am impressed by Margaret Moran though.... She hasn't actually said in what respect the Telegraph is wrong. Just that it is ...

She is an MP and an honorable member so I must believe her.
