Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
It just gets better and better, the MP's who are standing down at the election because of the expenses scandal have now decided to award themselves £65,000. Is there no end to their audacity?

No.
I'm still hoping, probably in vain, that the MPs who claimed for mortgages they didn't have, because they'd already ended, will be prosecuted for fraud.
You can bet your bottom expenses receipt that if it was a woman, who'd claimed housing benefit as a single person, whilst shacked up with her fella, her feet wouldn't touch the floor until she was in the court dock.

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

Yep and this makes it even more hypocritical, "do as I say not as I do" springs to mind. It really is a travesty and by the way I am not condoning benefit fraud but my goodness this does take the biscuit!!!!

Neither am I.
Fraud is a crime, and should be prosecuted, no matter who you are.
Even if you are the one who makes the laws.

But unfortunately the ones at the top seem to change the laws relating to them when it suits Absolutely no faith in any party now as they are all in as deep as each other. You can't credit the state the finances of the country are in and they still seem to think it is their right to keep robbing it!!!
