Fraud is a crime, and should be prosecuted, no matter who you are.

Even if you are the one who makes the laws.

When corruption is so deeply entrenched it is the beginning of the end for democracy.
There is nobody left worth voting for. :(

They've also awarded themselves this, since the expenses scandal.

MPs ignore public anger and give themselves £9,000 expenses deal by stealth - Telegraph

A clean sweep, and transparency?

Yeah right.

That will be tax free as well.

Well I'd vote for him, we may not always see eye to eye, but he's as straight as a dye, and that's all you can ask of any politician

BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | Duncan sorry for MP pay 'whinge'

Shadow Commons leader Alan Duncan has apologised "unreservedly" after he was secretly filmed complaining about MPs' pay and expenses.

The Tory MP was heard to say MPs were being treated badly after the expenses scandal and "have to live on rations".

Mr Duncan said the remarks, made to film maker Heydon Prowse of Don't Panic magazine, were meant as a joke.

Why say the comments in the first place?

Because some MPs have a sense of humor especially Alan Duncan, he has to have:D

Yes he was very humorous on Have I Got News For You, when he said he'd kill a beauty queen because she didn't support same sex marriages.

Killing those that don't share the same views, hilarious.

Still, he has made me laugh.

Only weeks after his smarmy dismissal of the expenses scandal on Have I Got News, he did some pretty funny retrospective grovelling.

Alan Duncan is definitely funny, just not in a good way.

'The following year, the MP published a book, Saturn's Children, in which he called for the decriminalisation of all drugs, the scrapping of the welfare state'

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

'Duncan, like Francis Maude and Michael Gove, enjoys immunity because he is an inmate of Cameron’s gang hut. In contrast, Sir Peter Viggers, of duck-house fame, found that his feet did not touch the ground on the way out of public life in the wake of the MPs’ expenses scandal. But Duncan is a Cameroon, an icon of “modernisation”, much hyped by the more absurd Tory bloggers.'

Alan Duncan is taking up space that might more profitably be occupied by a vacuum - Telegraph Blogs

That's an outrage!

If I was andrewb I'd sue the Daily Telegraph.

This is the same Tory M.P who voted against the minimum wage!
