Yet ANOTHER Labour Snout in the Trough

Seems yet another London-based Labour MP has a second home and is claiming support for it.

I really am staggered by the depths these people go to. Do they not understand they're our servants?

This really, really, needs clearing up NOW. We don't need a year-long enquiry to tell us. Harriet Harman's court of public opinion has spoken. Lets see some action.

Related to this is the fact the BBC hasn't reported this story anywhere on their news website. You'd think it would be up there on the political home page, but no. We're 12 months away from a general election (much sooner than that if my predictions come true) and the BBC should be bending over backwards to be unbiased and even handed in their political reporting. It seems they aren't even close at the moment.

Update:

Here's the only mention on the BBC website, a video:

24 minutes to get from either house to Westminster, so absolutely no reason to have a second home, except to have a nice little nest-egg she can sell when she leaves Parliament financed by the taxpayer.

IT HAS TO STOP!

Gordon Brown Gets Told the Truth.

Dan Hannan MEP (who deserves a medal) tells Gordon Brown what everyone else in the country wants to tell him. All Gordo does is smirk, looking all the world like the buffoonish madman everyone thinks he is.

Well he would smirk wouldn't he, he's ruined the country and still gets a fat pension. Remember Gordon, there should be no reward for failure.

This video is doing the rounds on the blogosphere, but hat-tip to Guido Fawkes where I saw it first.

I saw Dan Hannan on the Daily Politics a couple of weeks ago. He was the most lucid politician I've heard in a long time. Maybe thats a result of being in the European Parliament and not Westminster, maybe he's better able to talk without the withering machinery of state we have here, but his speech just shows what OUR Parliament should be, without the bollocks of protocol thats been hijacked by New Labour in order to stunt true debate and discussion.

Update:

In contrast, the Labour propaganda machine that is the BBC has this report on Gordon Brown's visit to the European Parliament. No mention of the Dan Hannan speech at all. It just confirms for me the bias in BBC reporting.
Lets see if the newspapers do report on it in the morning.

MPs Expenses: The Nonsense has to Stop

As time goes on and more MPs expense claims become public, the more ludicrous they seem to be.

Take Tony McNulty (the minister who's department thinks that me dropping off the jobless stats even though I'm still unemployed is a success):

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7957555.stm

He claimed second home expenses despite the house he was claiming on being his parents house, despite that house being only 8 miles away from his own house and despite his constituency being in Greater London only 11 miles from Westminster and on a tube line.

IT HAS TO STOP!

MPs that do this sort of thing should pay back the expenses. I don't care whether the rules allow it, THE RULES ARE WRONG!

I call on all the decent MPs to get together and sort it now, before all MPS are tarred as money-grabbing, lying thieves.
