Glenda Jackson agrees to pay back Parliamentary expenses

A quick piece of breaking news: I’d blogged before about the way in which a taxpayer-funded magazine from Labour MP Glenda Jackson was being used to gather canvassing data for the Labour Party. She has now agreed to pay back in full the costs of the magazine, including postage.

    Have Norman Baker and Malcolm Bruce similarly repaid the full costs after findings against them?

    The real scandal is not that some MPs break technical rules, it’s that they are all given large amounts of money to put out propaganda promoting themselves in their constituencies.

    There is a lot of “incumbent corruption” in British politics nowadays and it is still growing, but tha ctivities of MPs of all parties is the worst incidence of it.
