The prize for most unseemly metaphor of the day goes to David McNarry, who in his assault on the Finance Minister Nigel Dodds over the alleged black hole in the budget, quoted the financier Warren Buffet as saying "It is only when the tide comes in that you can see who is bathing naked. What I say to Minister Dodds is - the tide has come in."

Of course, as he later acknowledged, it was a misquote as the tide has to go out, not come in, to reveal a minister with or without his speedoes.
