MPs' expenses

11:58am Monday 8th February 2010

HOW often have we heard MPs are not in the job for the money?

Well, the disgraceful expenses fiasco that seems to rumble on and on proves that some were.

Greed and a lavish lifestyle were always expected from the Conservatives as they were always deemed to be the party of the rich. Labour was always in this area the working man’s party. But I find it really sad how quick New Labour has embraced the practices, greed and lifestyles Labour always despised.

A General Election looms, As an ex-Labour voter, I think New Labour is doomed as the innocent will go down with the guilty.
