Who doesn't get what

As Home Secretary it should be Jacqui Smith's finest hour: stage-managing the security for the world's most powerful leaders at the G20 summit in London. But instead Britain's first woman Home Secretary is preoccupied with her husband's taste in pornographic videos.

The tawdry tale of the first Cabinet minister to submit a claim on Parliamentary expenses for blue movies will become the epitaph for Gordon Brown's crumbling government, just as cash for questions defined Sir John Major's shambolic administration.


The timing of Miss Smith's humiliation, days before the arrival of the G20 leaders, the scandal of her £116,000 expenses claim still smoking, could not be worse. When the previous President of the United States flew into Britain for the G8 summit at Gleneagles in July 2005, four bombs were triggered in London by Islamic extremists, killing 52 innocent people and maiming scores more. With President Obama, the most popular celebrity on the planet coming to London, the stakes could not be higher for Miss Smith.
