the stench coming of the ministers that surround the gibbering eejit broon with the big banana smile is overpowering.

Businessmen are allowed to cahrge for space used within their own homes so why not politicians?

Without more details about this we cannot make any conclusions.

Also funny how the accusations about corruption conveniently end as soon as the Euro elections end......do you think there is any chance it was set up just to influence the voting????

Probably!!!

I wasn't 'influenced' to vote for any other reason than understanding what is best for the future of Scotland, which is the reason I voted SNP. The state of westminster is nothing new to most of us, the MP's scandalous misappropriation of public money is something that was always known, but never articulated and broken down for the individuals.

The SNP, of course, famously beat labour in the Euro elections, agin this is a pattern that has emerged strongly, particularly since the SNP became the Scottish Government.

The Scottish Government are popular with Scottish voters in a manner that the dreaded new labour, the equally dreaded tories, and any unionist westminster led party can only dream of.

The dodgy labour mp in the article is enjoying two articles about how long he will be back as a minister, nobody apparently knows, and again, this is the mickey mouse approach to the westminster political system, one that is creaking under the strain of political ineptness.
