The other day, KeepRightOnline dismissed the leftists' bleating about the Conservative's new international development policy as being myopic. We cited schools in Kenya as evidence that the left simply refuses to acknowledge that public services are better delivered from the bottom-up.

Check out today's Telegraph editorial on the topic:

Britain's approach is wrong-headed because it is wedded to top-down policies. HMG is the largest funder of state primary education in Kenya. Yet ordinary Kenyan parents complain that the quality is far worse than the indigenous schools that they have established. The Tories are right to suggest that more aid should be given in the form of vouchers so that people – not bureaucrats – can decide how to spend the money.

Wellity, it looks like the Telegraph is catching up with KeepRightOnline. Told you they were getting sounder.

Boris outlines in this Telegraph article what exactly the United Kingdom needs.

One of the great scandals of modern public life.

The above quote, from the Telegraph today, reveals the shocking and too-far-gone state of the Cabinet's expenses under the leadership of one G. Brown.

Senor Brown, apparently has been siphoning £6,500 to his brother for shared 'cleaning services' while Jack Straw, David Miliband, Alistair Darling and so on and so forth are also under fire for this "systematic misappropriation"

Details courtesy of the Telegraph (more as this story unfolds)

* Jack Straw received a 50 per cent discount on his council tax from his local authority but claimed the full amount. He discovered the “mistake” last summer within weeks of the High Court ordering that MPs release details of their expenses. He has repaid the money.

* Lord Mandelson , the Business Secretary, claimed thousands of pounds to improve his constituency home after he had announced his resignation as an MP. He sold the property for a profit of £136,000.

* Hazel Blears , the Communities Secretary, claimed for three different properties in a single year. She spent almost £5,000 on furniture in three months after buying the third flat in an upmarket area of London.

* David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, spent hundreds of pounds on gardening at his constituency home — leading his gardener to question whether it was necessary to spend the money on pot plants “given [the] relatively short time you’ll be here”.

* Alistair Darling, the Chancellor, changed his official “second home” designation four times in four years.

* Geoff Hoon, the Transport Secretary, also switched his second home, which allowed him to extensively improve his family home in Derbyshire before buying a London town house also funded by the taxpayer.

* Andy Burnham , the Culture Secretary, Caroline Flint, the Minister for Europe, and Paul Murphy, the Welsh Secretary, also bought flats — or the freehold on a property they already owned — and claimed stamp duty and other moving costs. Mr Burnham warned the parliamentary authorities that his wife might divorce him if expenses were not paid promptly.

This morning, the Telegraph are reporting that up to twelve Blairites in the Labour Party have secretly discussed throwing their careers away defecting to the Liberal Democrats, citing a fear of a 'lurch to the left' to Lord Ashdown, former leader.

Whilst current poster boy leader Nick Clegg has announced he knew nothing of these discussions (shock, horror), he has previously been known to authorise secret approaches to disillusioned Labour MPs.

So, this appears to be yet another smashing blow to Brown's sinking ship. Here at KeepRightOnline, we are eagerly awaiting the European Elections. Will they prove to be the straw that broke the camel's back?

Looks like something's more right in Labour than we thought!
