Unbelievable

Are we expected to take this seriously? The Guardian reports:

Gordon Brown was "disappointed" by the decision of MPs – including his two parliamentary aides and 33 of his ministers - to throw out a series of proposed reforms to their expenses, the prime minister's spokesman said today.

Yet, in the same article:

Although Brown was said to support the proposed changes, he did not attend the Commons to vote and his two parliamentary private secretaries, Austin and Basildon MP Angela Smith, both voted against the reforms.
...
Government whips were then seen nodding Labour MPs through the aye lobby when they voted on a backbench amendment, tabled by former minister Don Touhig, to preserve their expenses.

Mr Brown obviously thinks that we are idiots.
