London, Mar. 29 : The relationship between UK Home Secretary Jacqui Smith and her husband Richard Timney is said to be passing through a very difficult phase following revelations that he has been using taxpayer money to see pornographic films.

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith’s political future is said to be in jeopardy after it was revealed that Timney, who works as his wife’s Commons adviser, used part of the Minister’s second-homes allowance to pay for the blue movies he watched on a subscription television channel.
