Lynne Featherstone takes to her keyboard to respond to the Independent’s questioning readership.
You can read her answers here.
Lynne doesn’t exactly get an easy ride. Those questions which aren’t of the form “Why don’t the Lib Dems pack up and go home?” are all specifics about how much her expenses were:
Why did you think it reasonable to spend £22,000 of our money on stationery for your office? Hannah Farthing, London
When I was elected in May 2005 I promised to be one of the “hardest working MPs – ever”. If you look at my record, you will find I have delivered on that commitment. Using stationary to write to people when they contact me, and when they need to be informed of what’s happening, is the mark of a good MP.
If I wasn’t replying to people and telling them what’s happened about the casework they have brought to me, there would soon by howls of protest. You can judge my overall use of expenses by the Telegraph. They called me one of their “saints”.

i wonder if any of those questions didn’t come from an opposing party activist, so vitriolic are they in tone.
