Those are the four big tests of whether an MP has any honour and decency, and, as we can see, Sion Simon failed all four of them.

What a plum this man is.

The digitalbritain project will never work until the infrastructure is sorted. Ministers who think we are going to be world leaders in the digital revolution clearly aren't getting IT.
As long as the homes and businesses are fed with obsolete copper we can never compete, let alone be a world leader. This country excels in content, innovation and inspiring people. They are currently throttled by a telco milking a victorian phone network and calling it broadband. We need fibre to the home.
