MPs expenses
With the 7th highest expenses claim of all members you would think that he might have something useful to add, which makes his absence from the debate and his failure to vote all the more baffling.
The blog formerly known as "Angus Nicolson - an incredulous eye on the isles" this was the blog of an ordinary, boring, former Councillor in the Western Isles of Scotland.
Angus is taking a sabbatical to be with his young family
Debate strengthens democracy, except inside the SNP, as he has discovered.
If you want balance then get some scales. This is opinion - our opinion.
Any proven errors of fact made will be corrected in the original article, or by publishing a correction at the same degree of prominence, or both. As far as practical, others who have quoted the article will be requested to make a note in their article - this would include, for example pinging back with the correction those who had linked to the original piece.
If articles are ever removed, a statement of why that has been done will be left in situ.
The rest is entirely at my discretion.

He was far too busy taking advantage of the John Lewis Summer Sale.....
I guess the fact that more than half of MP didn't vote in the expenses debate has escaped your attention.
A quick check shows that our MP took part in at least 3 other debates last Thursday (the same day as the expenses vote) - in each debate, he asked about the cost of overseas visits for department ministers, so he has been taking an active interest in government expenses.
Actually you will find that he had three written questions answered on Thursday.
As you will see he has been very busy asking the Government about Ministers expenses and travel via a series of questions.
The answers to these questions are already in the public domain, and have been for some time. Ooops, sack the researcher.
Anon 7.54. Perhaps he was wanting to cut overseas expenditure and increase his own expenses. Any mention of claiming for his private piper.
Nice try again angus.
Fail !
what correspondent?

What are you on about. Written questions can be sent in advance. This means that the dick didn't and presumably wasn't party to the debate. He obviously had far more important events to attend to.
