And about bloody time!

Martin is going!



[ETA: Meanwhile Gordon Brown said no Labour MP who broke expenses rules would stand at the next election. — is that the most meaningless commitment ever, given that breaking the rules isn't exactly the issue?]

Ah ha, but tis all a conspiracy dontcharknow?
Lets say, for the sake of conspiracy that I'm backing the speaker... If he is the guy who signs MPs expenses claims, and assuming that the MPs who make the claims like making claims, they are not exactly going to want to stop making them. So they are going to say to the speaker, 'don't reveal anything about our claims. If a dirty story should appear in the press we'll ensure you lose your job'

(I think Spitting Image had more of an effect on my young mind than I'd ever previously realised.)

But have you seen the footage of him slapping down MPs who were wanting transparency and change?
