Gobsmacking. Just gobsmacking.
Baroness Warsi, the Conservative Party chairman, faces damaging new questions over her business dealings.
A Sunday Telegraph investigation has uncovered that she has never registered a controlling stake in a spice manufacturing firm with the House of Lords authorities.
...Lady Warsi’s business partner, Abid Hussain, accompanied her on a ministerial trip to Pakistan where he met leading politicians;
Mr Hussain has been a leading member of Hizb ut Tahrir, the radical Islamic group the Tories promised to ban while in opposition;
It is unclear if Mr Hussain was subjected to security vetting before accompanying the peer to Pakistan;
Lady Warsi has been on 17 foreign trips while in office, even though her role as party chairman is to foster relations with grassroots members.

What a disaster. Fortunately, my cousins have an alternative (no, not the b.n.p.).
I hope you're right, and she's on her way to jail. Is that too much to hope for?
