Phase 1 - Denial, hoping it will all go away.
Phase 2 - Clarify that "it's within the rules" and hope that it will all go away.
Phase 3 - Blame shift: "The Fees Office agreed my expenses", hoping it will all go away.
Phase 4 - Bury head in sand by hiding from the media, hoping that it will all go away.
Phase 5 - Speak to whips/party bosses. Announce you are paying the money back, thereby hoping it will all go away.
Phase 6 - Find someone to blame: step forward Michael 'The Incompetent' Martin, and hope that it will all go away.
Morons at work. This is going to change politics. It's not going to go away. There will be de-selections. There will be more scalps. There will be electoral consequences. Brown will continue to look terribly slow and reactive. Cameron is looking good but needs to keep up the pace.
