Brash on a break

I couldn’t blog this earlier as I was with clients and then at select committee, so by now most will have seen the story about Don Brash taking a few days off to work on problems in his marriage.

One of the absolute turnoffs for becoming an MP is that issues in your private life become a matter of public notice. It’s awful both for the MP but equally so for their spouses and children.

I would ask any commenters to comment in a fashion which they would like others to adopt if talking about their family.
