parliamentary information office: After all the pathetic excuses given by numerous MPs for claiming expenses, that they should clearly have known they were not entitled to. MPs from all parties are still fiddling their expenses.
It should be law that any MP found fiddling expense claims should immediately be expelled and lose parliamentary privileged cover and be charged with theft.
What most people want to know is - why have MPs been permitted to get away with fiddling their expenses by traveling first class when they should have traveled second class.
This was / is a clear breach of the rules, which state that you can ONLY travel first class when it is cheaper than second class.
At the time of booking their first class tickets it was / is ALWAYS cheaper to book second class. But they have deliberately chosen to compare it with last minute ticket price which for both first AND second class is dearer.
Why then is it that no action has been taken against these MPs ?
Why have none of the party leaders not thrown them out ?
They should lose their seat and be treated just the same as other employees and be charged for blatant theft.
parliamentary information office: Someone who heckles Cameron gets 100 hours community service but a thieving MP in a position of trust is able to resign. People wouldn't believe you if you made it up.
parliamentary information office: Obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception, or conspiracy thereto. That would do for a start.
Why is that all the convicted MP's belong to the Labour Party?
parliamentary information office: The former Europe minister said he wanted to take responsibility for his mistakes.
The Standards and Privileges Committee said he "plainly planned to deceive"
Well, I guess a criminal offence by an elected MP can only be a minor mishap, mistake or pure bad luck.
How many years is he (and the rest) going to serve at her majesty's pleasure?
