Does that mean that we ALL can claim for going shopping? Crass lot.
Would turkeys vote for Christmas? What would Mandy Rice Davis know? Would a House of Parliament 'so sweet and fragrant' have within its walls such trough-scraping, tax-guzzling, gluttons squatting off the poor and hard-working?
Happy days!
One law for MP's and a different one for the rest of us!

F*cking waste of time this committee is. What Standards? The fact that he/his office lied about it and his wife is claiming for personal trips would be a matter of fraud and dismissal in any other job. It just shows how out of touch Westminster is with the mood and feeling in the country.
What the hell does a politician have to do to be censured by this committe?
er, no. The Commissioner for Standards rejected the complaint, and exercised his discretion in telling the Committee what he had done. The Committee endorsed his decision.
Higher standards of accuracy wouldn't do much to impress Suzanne Moore, Guido, but they would impress some of us.
Surprise,, surprise ... they managed to get their snouts out of the trough long enough to stick a trotter in the air.
The important word is not StandardS. It is PRIVILEGES.
As usual to be a good politician you have to
Admit nothing!
Deny everything!
If you can't deny it then be very good at covering it up!
Or get the standards committee to perform a white wash!

I think that means that anyone married & self-employed/company-owner should start to do the same. I think I can pay a lot less tax this way.
Nothing to see here folks, ignore the pigs at the trough emptying your purse & pension fund.
These self serving, self satisfied, self promoting, self policing treasonous nomenklatura have to fall.
I am now officially mildly annoyed.
Utter disgrace. In the words of Chris Morris, "he doesn't deserve punishment; he deserves gunishment."
Why is the Speaker's wife using expensive private hire taxis in a city stuffed-full with subsidised public transport?
What is the matter with a bus or even the tube? Our public servants and their hangers-on should not be using the most expensive form of transport.
They should only be able to claim for the most economical fairs and if they want to 'up-grade' they should pay the difference out of their own pockets and not mine, or yours for that matter.
Astonishingly crass decision
I never thought I would say it, but bring back capital punishment - just for errant MPs! Should leave a lot more spare seats in the House of Commons.
Why should the dozy cow be allowed to claim anything , she does not work for the government , she is only married to one of the biggest pigs in the place. These bastards should be shot, nothing but crimainals.

By that logic the queen should go to Tescos on a tricycle.

Answer: they have to do something to criticise the committee, then they'll get in their bad books and get censured for something meaningless later on.
"Let the true corruption continue; let's just censure people who try to correct the corruption instead" would be the committee's mantra judging by the history of labour since 1997.
And why not? She could do with the exercise.
anon @ 3.57 -
your forensic analysis of the substance of the Committee's reports since 1997 is highly enlightening.
Now there's a surprise.
The House of Commons Standards and Privileges Committee set up by er... The House of Commons, has decided that there was no wrong doing by the fat cunt. Of course. How on earth could his dozy old trout of a wife get to Waitrose and Heals and back without £4,000 of OUR money in taxi money. Hope she got some nice stuff on her trips.
Oh, by the way, luv,just let us know if you fancy a new kitchen or conservatory, you piss-taking old bint.
Besides, I think I've got a few coppers left over from filling up my car. No, no, I insist. Go on, treat yourself.
Yours, all yours,
T. Axpayer

NADINE DORRIES was formally reprimanded for misuse of Parliamentary stationery.
When he was Leader of the Opposition, WILLIAM HAGUE was criticised (I'm not sure that it was a formal reprimand) for declaring in the Register of Members' Interests that all the fees he received for speaking engagements were paid into the "William Hague Charitable Trust". Sounds good but the Trust didn't exist. It was just a figment of his imagination.
I say we throw the thieving cunts in the thames.
and then tread on their fingers when they try to climb out.
fair's fair, after all they are the ones who drowned the reputation of parliament.
fucking spastics.
The way I see this:
Based on the PAYE I pay, I have just spent the last three months working so that the speaker's missus can go swanning about in a taxi.
That makes me feel warm all over, not.
Thank goodness for The Committe. The system works.
I can now go back to getting that Limo firm to take me into Westminster again.
All those awful weeks getting the tube in from Green Park.
Disgusting it was, I don't know how you lot put up with it.
But thanks to Mr Martin neither I nor Mrs BQ have to use it again.
I will give fat bastard and his wife a taxi ride they will not forget-straight off beachy head.
Bastards the lot of them.

And later by way of celebration, in the words of Johnny Cash, " I'll bet they're drinking whisky and smoking big cigars ( since they allow themselves the further privilege of smoking in the bars of the Palace of Westminster ).
Corrupt Hypocrites All.
