Hell Hath No Furry ?

'Twas five years back that I noticed Lib Dem MP John Hemming's unusual domestic arrangements :

Mr Hemming said his wife Christine had shown her support and was "there if Emily needs any help".
It sounds as if, not unnaturally, Mrs Hemming (allegedly) wasn't so cool after all about things :

The wife of Birmingham MP John Hemming has appeared in court accused of stealing a kitten belonging to her husband’s one-time mistress.

Christine Hemming, 52, is charged with burglary at the home of Emily Cox.

Hmm.

She has three children by Mr Hemming and is a senior partner of recruitment agency Diverse City Services.
Can't do the business any harm when your husband's a local MP and his party share power in Brum (in a Tory/LD coalition). I wonder if the City Council ever use them for recruiting?
