Her expenses scam was even more of a doozy. Her second home was a flat in London owned by fellow Labour MP Gillian Merron and she claimed rent for it. Meanwhile Merron's second home was Beckett's flat in London and she claimed rent for that. I'm just glad such japes and capers are in no way shape or form a hindrance to being made a dame, that would just be churlish - it's only public money, after all.

I actually agree, that whole debacle and reaction from some was diabolical. Haven't they all been at it though? I think we'd be hard pushed to find someone with her capability that hasn't.

I've got one! My ex local MP Adrian Saunders who retired from politics today. No fraudulent expenses and the head of several government committees, the quiet force behind the coalition. I'm proud to call him a friend.

That's really good, and obviously there will be more like him too.
What a shame he's retiring though.

I didn't say he has ballsed-up in the implementation of his pledges. I'm referring to his having to dial down and back-pedal on pledges he's clearly too incompetent or indifferent to deliver, should he ever be allowed to park his bike outside Number 10. I could elaborate but, as I said, I'm not here to bedazzle you.
Just as well, because you're not even close to bedazzling me. Your inability to provide a single example to back up the shite you're claiming is noted.
As for Pob, every single point he makes in that video has been debunked - sorry
Cool - because I'm not in the mood to play link bingo with you
But I would like to ask you, if I may: How do you think he's been handling Brexit, in the face of May & the Torys' shambolic performance to date?

It is, but he deserves it. He can rant at the telly and turn up at meetings on the sly though

But he has a bit of a plummy voice himself, and he never shuts up about his posh school and how they only played Rugger because football was for plebs. And his listeners lap it up

Yeah, that Kidderminster twang is such a bastard. I listened too, how about attacking the content?

I can't decide which is Margaret Beckett's greatest crime, her shameful expenses fiddling or her butchering of House of the Rising Sun.
