Just when I think politicians cannot sink any lower, they do. With little fanfare, the proceedings being covered by the arrest of Ruth Turner, the Commons have been sending the Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill to a second reading.

What is this perfidious amendment?

Amend the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to exempt from its provisions the House of Commons and House of Lords and correspondence between Members of Parliament and public authorities.

There's nothing like accountability, is there? If you're in the UK, why not let your MP know just what you think of this?
