Caroline Flint, our not-so-fragrant Minister for Europe, hasn't even read the Treaty of Lisbon. MORE HERE.
"I have been briefed on some of it," she told Mark Francois her opposite number in the House.
Well, that's just fine then. We can all rest easy at night knowing that our Minister for Europe has her finger on the pulse and knows exactly what she's doing. Good grief, even I seem to know more about it than she does (eg Lisbon Treaty legalises EU death penalty). Yes, it's a convoluted mish-mash of mendacity and you need to have two or three other 'Treaties' beside you as well for reference but come on, Caroline, at least make some show of being up to the job.
I pity her constituents in South Yorkshire - they deserve much better.

- Voted strongly against a transparent Parliament.
- Voted moderately for introducing a smoking ban.
- Voted strongly for introducing ID cards.
