Why only FOUR years back submittions for MP's expenses? I
thought when comes to Finances it should be SEVEN years.
I would think the National Debt could do with the excesses!

Margaret Beckett doesn't have to eat out in restaurants. If I feel hungry when out I nip into shop or butcher and buy a pie or pasty. Costs about £1.

Political experts were stunned by the hostility towards MPs, who had to fend off accusations that those fiddling expenses are no better than benefit cheats.

No they are far worse than benefit cheats. They do not have to make these claims they do it because they are greedy parasites and EVERY single one that is found to have fiddled their expenses should feel the full weight of the law! Till they do they cannot preside over the general public and make laws that that will appear do not concern them. Cameron has made a good start in what he has proposed. Brown is a total waste of space and he needs to be told it is just not good enough and made to call an election.

Its going to be quite a site when this smug little woman's attitude is no doubt going to cost her local Council seat. As the saying goes "dont bite the hand that feeds you", but I guess this woman is probably milking the system (or should I say has already milked the system) for all its worth after realising that there is now no hope in hell of her being re-elected.

“Almost certainly, not invariably, you are eating out in restaurants because you are not able to go home because you are still working.”

...So the point in a £24k a year 2nd housing allowance is what exactly?! Bung them in a 4* central London hotel like any other non-executive director and be done with them. If their 2nd London home is literally only used as a bed then what is the point in having the financial support to obtain a 2nd house in one of the most expensive parts of the UK if it is only to ultimtely get some sort of capital gain. No private firm in the world will allow expenses for that sort of gain.

Doest matter how his poor example of an MP is removed from her authority - through dismissal or by the public she claims to serve it doesnt really matter; 1 less in the House of Commons!

Housing Minister? What the hell does she do all day, every day? Look at the state of British housing. Too few council houses or private houses nobody can afford.
I think this thing has been building up. From bankers bonuses and incompetence, Fred's outrageous pension, bent Labour peers and now fraudulent MPs. The expenses rules are clear. It is the MPs at fault, not the system. Those that are shown to have broken the rules, and particularly if they have not paid every penny back, should be sacked and by-elections held. They should also lose their pension. Too much corruption has crept into what should be positions of honour.

The Queen should step in and dissolve Parliament, and arrange for new elections. That's part of Her job in a constitutional monarchy -- to be a separate entity from the Government, ready to step in when Parliament has shown itself unfit to govern (as now). If the Queen does not take action, then it will be clear that She is only a figurehead who considers Herself a special branch of the Government rather than an entity standing separate from it. This is Her time for action -- and She should do it promptly; the people expect Her to do Her duty.

The expenses system as it stands at present is a complete joke! I'm sick of hearing about MP's claiming for plasma TV's and kitchen improvements; these are not expenses they are luxuries. Expenses in business are expected, but should be related to business; travel, business lunches, etc, but never for second homes, plasma TV's and the like. MP's earn a very comfortable salary as it is, they should be there to serve the country, not rince the system for every spare penny they can get. Basic expenses only please for matters directly related to the business of government!

They will have found it difficult to get similar well paying jobs with poor references. They, thier wives and children will have felt the effects for the rest of their lives. Why are MP's any different?
These MP's should resign their seats, then explain that they have done nothing wrong if they wish to stand in the ensuing election. If the electorate believes them or thinks their perfomance gives them the right to a second chance they will get their jobs back.

As bad as this Corruption is but it is just the sign of a greater hidden but galactic corruption, The EU! When Britain was the most successful nation in the world & British workers were valued for their hard work and expertise Britain made its own laws & allowed no other nation to interfere. Under Labour against the wishes of up to 80% of the British people, they have foisted the EU onto us & driven us further into this corruption called post Democratic. The EU is 18% Protestant and 82% Catholic hence the dictatorial nature of the EU. 85% of the UK laws including the Unpopular ID Cards, immigration, pornographic, Criminal Rights oops Human rights Act, Labour laws plus another two hundred thousand laws passed in our name by a majority of traditionally dictatorial, undemocratic and corrupt Catholic based nations. As a consequence we the British people now have a rump of a Parliament, a rubber stamp to the EU bureaucracy & to hell with what the British people want. The politicians have been hugely corrupted by the corruption that pervades every facet of the EU. Consequently Corruption, Lies, deceit, spin are what we get instead of truth and honesty and Democracy from the stinking rotten Carcase we call Westminster, because it is dead. They have to lie because they cant tell the truth known by all members of the EU except our lying politicians. Spin like the slogan “British Jobs for British People”

I actually watched Question Time, and it became patently obvious to me and the audience that Margaret Beckett could not see that what she had done was wrong. Totally unrepentent. I'll be very surprised if she survives the next election, because she demonstrated that she could not grasp why there was so much anger and hostility from the audience. Whereas when Ming Campbell explained his expenses it sort of made sense. He was contrite and acknowledged he could see why everyone was upset, but she did not. It was akin to being up in front of the Headmaster and blaming the person next to her. Her days are numbered.

Does Beckett really think any significant proportion of the population has the opportunity to go home for lunch? With the wage packet of an MP, would it really be too much to ask for them to go to a cafe/sandwich stall/supermarket and buy themselves a lunch (like everyone else does)? If this is an issue why not just make a packed lunch? How is it possibly justifiable for the tax payer to subsidise this basic expense which is common to the entire working environment? There is no excuse for MP's to indulge themselves at our expense, particularly to complain about the lack of alternative options.

Well I'm here on the other side of the channel and having copped a look at Le Figaro and the comments beneath: I'd say it was a faithful translation of what has been written both here and in the Telegraph and that the gist of the comments is that it's only a matter of time before the same kind of scandal hits France. The only difference would seem to be that the French press, being in a different legal jurisdiction, aren't hung-up about using the word 'fraudulent'.

It was bad enough that people were blaming 'the system' - but now that a Labour Minister for Justice is being investigated it defies belief to start suggesting that 'the system' must be the fault of the Tories: I can only assume NABIL H, that you work in Downing Street?!

At a time when house repossessions are destroying the lives of thousands of people, and so many private pensions (excluding that of the creep Goodwin) have been shockingly reduced, it is amazing that Beckett-type sleazebags insist on trying to justify their squalid antics.

With arrogant condescension she asserts that "people can't understand" why MPs get allowances. No : we understand perfectly well. What we don't understand is why we can't trust legislators to keep their hands out of the till.

It is the insolent Beckett and her grubby colleagues who "don't understand" why the entire country detests them for their shabby greed.

Tumbrils are out of fashion, alas ; but the solution is to insist on deselection of every MP who has taken advantage of the system they designed and refused to have properly monitored.

The Westminster delinquents will put up the ramparts (or fill the moats) and hope that we'll forget about this before the next election.

Why or why do these people not get it! They are way out of step with all members of the public in that they have created a set of highly privileged rules for themselves, in areas where the general public not only cannot claim, but would be found guilty of tax evasion and fraud if they did.

paying back is not good enough: tax evaders receive heavy fines when caught, even jail. If a robber, when caught, returns the goods they are still sentenced for robbery.
