Can it be true?

Guido Fawkes, in his blog yesterday, claimed inside information to the effect that the MPs' wine cellars at Westminster are to be refitted at a cost of £7 million. We can only misquote Churchill, "Some cellar, some racks!"

Could this be for gentlemen who are abusing allowances, in spirit if not in law, having voted themselves very generous pension arrangements and who enjoy generous international travel to sporting events at our expense?

We may not want to join with Guido in his humourous conclusion, that the best thing to put in cellars is gunpowder..., but we have to ask what else is at our expense in that very generous Gentleman's club?
