This is genuinely amusing, but to be fair, Reid (incidentally, whom I don't rate at all) did make this announcement before the contract cleaning company revealed that these workers had worked for the Home Office previously. Moreover, I wonder what their interest was in revealing this information as it can only damage confidence in their own operation as a major contractor to government departments. I'm sure that there is more fun to be had.
