Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
I am really trying not to be political, but the one today about the Tory M.P using allowances to build servant quarters is an absolute classic.

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
think this has to be the lowest claim so far , an MP claiming for the 'fiver' he put in a Church collection plate at a service for war veterans
BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | MP 'claimed for church donation' he says it was an honest mistake , if you can't be honest in Church it's time to put a shilling in the gas meter and turn off the pilot light  |

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
Gordon Brown was just on The Andrew Marr Show. The Prime Minister sounded pragmatic and sincere about what will happen in the future of Britain. I know I'm probably in a minority of people (non-political people at least) who have confidence in the Prime Minister at the moment.

I know I'm not the only one, as my mother was sent one too. He apologised on behalf of all the MPs caught up in the expenses fiddle, and was 'very, very sorry'. I wonder who funded these doleful missivies, and if the costs were put on expenses? I'm afraid the whole 'we're very sorry' doesn't wash with me at all. They all knew the expenses system was flawed, and blocked every attempt for more transparency. They're only sorry their grubbiness has been made public. I'm afraid you wasted the cost of the stamp on my letter Gordon.

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
I had a PB canvasser a few days ago.
I spoke to her in a few inches of gap (door chain on) I said 'he will not get my vote' She sweetly smiled and went away I expected at least to be asked 'why not?', perhaps his own supporters think he is a lost cause too

Quite lucky around these parts actually - no canvassers ever, hardly any political literature jammed through the door, even the Jehovas have given up. Predictable parades or misanthropic mailboxes? Dunno. The peace is nice though. |

I think, quite wrongly, that the student vote isn't targeted, because the parties are confused as to where their vote will be cast.
