Today's revelation - £16k for a mortgage that did not exist. Why is that not fraud or embezelment, neither of which is pardonable with a "sorry I made a mistake" plea. That bloke should be in prison by now.

In addition to claiming £16000 for a mortgage he'd already paid off, Elliot Morley allegedly rented out his London flat (designated as his main residence) to another Labour MP, who in turn claimed back the £1000 a month rent he paid to Morley!!!

A Tory MP has resigned, saying:

"Due to an error of judgement in accepting advice from the fees office I have let a lot of people down".

That damned Fees Office, misleading our politicians...
