Gordon Brown has finally got round to sorting out the "snoutgate" mess and fiddles re MP's expenses. The main bone of contention was the MP's second home (or in some cases Sister's bedsit)allowance. This amounted to some £24,000 per MP. Gordon has announced his intention to scrap this and replace it with an "Attendance Allowance". What will this be worth ?
Yes , you have guessed it. £24,000 per annum. But you can rest assured that this will be legal and all above board. MP's will get to vote on the new expenses "fiddles"......Isn't that a bit like asking Turkeys if they want to vote on the banning of Christmas?
