£10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses

What do you make of this? £10,000 is being offered for the leaked information on MP's expenses receipts. The Sun and Times have been offered it, but refuse to handle stolen goods. Bloggers have offered £10,000 and are prepared to publish them if they get the information...

As I see it we should get to see them anyway. It's our money and we need transparency to regain trust in politicians.

To be quite honest I'm getting fed up with all this crap about Exes, they just need to sort it out 2-6

Disgraceful! They should be allowed to dip their snouts in the trough in peace!

Sorry, I know I'm numb, but I don't understand the sentence.
£10,000 is being offered by whom?
What have The Sun and The Times been offered?

Agree with the sentiment.

What he means is that someone out there (but it's not quite clear who) is offering to sell the MPs expenses info for £10,000. He's just getting giddy, because he thinks that Mad Gord's finished...I wouldn't be too sure, though...some of that Obama magic might rub off on him!

Wynonie is correct. The blogger is Guido Fawkes over at Guy Fawkes' blog of parliamentary plots, rumours and conspiracy

The Sun/Times were offered the expenses receipts (for a price) but refused them as there are legal implications of handling stolen goods.

You are absolutely right not to be to sure about the outcome of the next election. Things are starting to turn.
