Talking earlier today to an elderly neighbour she informed me that her son says she needs to have her house "renditioned".

Somehow I don't see the CIA coming in to repair her pebbledash.  noooo:

But I smiled knowingly and agreed it would be expensive.

Harry Cohen, MP who said he was better than Churchill, to quit after expenses row

Quote from: The Times
A Labour MP being investigated by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards for claiming over ?100,000 in allowances for his second home is stepping down.

Harry Cohen, who says he is the most professional MP his constituents have ever had, including Winston Churchill, will go at the next general election. Party workers of his Leyton and Wanstead constituency in East London were informed last week.

Source

Quote
Sources close to the party say that after 26 years representing the constituency he wanted to spend more time with his wife who is in poor health.

So, MPs are to receive letters this morning slapping their wrists and telling them to pay back expenses. Unlikely given that the man heading the formal investigation and writing the letters is Sir Thomas Legg.

Once described regarding another investigation as:

"A quintessential insider, the Establishment Man's Establishment Man: as unctuous a piece of slime as ever slithered around the corridors of Whitehall"

And of course "Today" just had to ask Lord Rumba of Rio about it this morning even though he was supposedly there to talk about the "Big Fire Sale".
Still he had a nice cosy chat with Evan. 'Spect they had a refreshing cuppa and a slice of quiche too before moving onto interior decorators they know  ::)

Indeed but she gets to keep the £64k+ that she has embezzled over the past three years.

So that's a big  Finger: to the voters.
