ABOVE THE LAW

Surprise, surprise, the House of Commons wants to amend the Freedom of Information Act. The planned changes have already been knocked back the Commons, but government mandarins have ditched decency and decorum and allowed it a second chance. So what are the changes? Many senior MP’s want their correspondence and expenses claims made exempt from the Act. Now there’s a thing – over paid, expenses running into hundreds of thousands of pounds per MP, extended summer holidays and a secure pension scheme; and now above the law. The arrogance and audacity of this self proclaimed elite never ceases to amaze me. (Its Rogues gallery for you lot). It is left to the Liberals who, not surprisingly, have taken the moral high ground and will attempt to “filibuster” the amendment. Never have I been so glad of their ability to generate a lot of hot air!

Moving on, before the law changes follow the links below to view the expense and salary claims for my MP Stephen Hepburn, and for good measure his neighbour Mr Miliband.
