New audit plan for MPs' expenses
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.

Why do WE have to pay another £600,000 per year for a so called audit committee when the Torygraph have done it for us for nothing? They don't get it do they(?) They think yet another self regulating body is going to make us feel better about it all. Disolve parliament and let's get at them in the ballot box. Right now I would like a £65K salary and on pain of death I would not be claiming to have my tennis court repaired or for the purchase of a dozen boxes of Guga biscuits from the deli at Port of Ness.
As at least one other writer has commented, once MPs' expenses are being audited by a private company, they will no longer be suspectible to Freedom of Information requests.
Not sure if that's true, or not....
What about our MP whats he been claiming for or is he squeeky clean?
or
Is this the result of Angus's brown envelope of secrets?
Angus got the envelope and sold it to the torygraph!
