Saw this and it made me laugh. What would be the worst text you could get ???

What is the one text message an MP does not want to receive?
"PM wants to know exactly what you said on Today programme," perhaps?
Or: "Who was that woman you were pictured with in the News of the World?"
Apparently not. According to chief secretary to the Treasury, Andy Burnham, it is the one which reads: "You had better give your mum a call - she's a bit upset."
This is the message the minister received from his brother last July after his confession that he had smoked cannabis "once or twice at university" appeared in the newspapers.
"That was the first my mum had heard of it and, believe me, it's the message you don't want to receive," he told journalists at a Westminster lunch.
:P
