Swine Fever: Conservative MP Andrew MacKay Quits Over Dodgy Expenses
CONSERVATIVE MP Andrew MacKay has resigned as parliamentary aide to David Cameron over what the party says was an “unacceptable” expenses claim.
And in doing so makes the Tories look purged and active - and Labour look worse…
The Swine Fever claims its first victim.
The Conservatives said Mr MacKay had voluntarily submitted his expense claims to party officials and these had revealed “an unacceptable situation that would not stand up to reasonable public scrutiny”.
It is understood that Mr MacKay and his wife [also an MP] claimed second homes allowances on two separate properties.
“Although Mr MacKay maintains that those arrangements were agreed by the Fees Office, he resigned this morning with immediate effect.

Glad to see the sow has been used Anorak, but not in her full awfulness? Loved the piggy tail…

perhaps she should court an MP of another hue, if they don’t all avoid her as though she has …swine flu?

I am reminded that Julie does not have much luck with her chosen partners. This one has chosen to fall on his own sword. Her previous fiancé and MP Stephen Milligan apparently chose to fall on his own orange, allegedly.

I can only assume that he and his wife, Julie Kirkbride drew lots to see which one would fall on his / her sword. It’s a shame because I am sick of seeing her face in the local paper. She would turn up to open a urinal and probably will when they’ve finished rebuilding.
