Out of our pockets!!

It seems that many of our MP’s have hidden secrets.

Brought on, I am sure by some Labour led investigation set-up to offset the media’s interest in the recent Peter Hain deputy Leadership election finding scandal. It seems that Tory (ex) MP Derek Conway’s political career hangs in the balance.

Now, I am sure that many MP’s have to engage family members, particularly wives (partners etc.) to help them with their work and why should they not be paid something for their time and trouble for this service.

But when as it seems as in the case of Derek Conway’s family, everyone has been involved, some reports say to the tune of more than £250,000 of tax payers money, then I do think that there is a bit of case to answer for Mr. Conway.

I wonder when a) MP’s will clean up their act, do they really think that the public has them in high esteem at the moment? and b) when will we (the taxpaying public) see some of these MP’s actually suffer stiff penalties for there errors of judgement? Probably never, in both cases.

Interesting link for another political firm.
