Hypocrisy is its own reward

The spectacle of tory Alun Cairns wringing his hands over six-figure public sector salaries in Wales is an unedifying one to say the least. Whilst the eighty-odd officials may earn substantially more than the accident-prone AM on paper, it is very likely that none of them have been able to milk the system sufficiently to pay for a second home within jogging distance of their main domicile – or had the cheek to try to influence the rules to sustain the arrangement.

When it comes to matters considered “morally indefensible in the face of impending cuts in public services”, Cairns remains very much a role model.
