Oh yes, he certainly has his snout firmly in the trough, as has his missus. That's why he has a vested interest in keeping the whole racket going.

Sack the lot of them, flawed system that allows the rules to be bent out of all proportion they wont be brought to task Watch. Dont worry its within the rules. MPs are already on income support. Our money has and is doing a good job.

Yep, he's determined to hang on to his privileged existence with all its attendant goodies for as long as he can...probably 'til the election next year. And when he does go, it'll either be off to the Brussels gravy train or upstairs to the Lords gravy train, with a nice, fat pension to look forward to...all for carrying out a job with the sort of incompetence that you or I would be sacked for. :rolleyes:

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
 

So the trough is being scoured clean with what are supposed to represent us with their claims but here is another point; "What about those that sit in the devolved parliments and also Westminster as well? this is costing big time as they get allowances from both.

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
 

looks like the Government will have the independant enquiry for MP's expenses.. one of the proposals from Labour is that MP's should be made to fill a timesheet..no problem..but the Tory MP Alan Duncan has opposed this saying that he is so busy with his 4 or 5 other jobs he has not the time!.. class

A £1.4 million pension pot and a place on the Lords gravy train. This, for a man who allowed MPs to get away with all sorts of expenses scams and then spent our money trying to cover it up.

At the same time, Mad Gord is telling us that Parliament will not be a "gentleman's club" anymore.

Oh sure... :rolleyes:
