Charged MPs leave court after not guilty plea

Charged MPs leave court after not guilty plea
Three Labour MPs have left court having entered pleas of not guilty, and have been called to appear at Crown Court on March 30 after the judge claimed the case needed to be tested in a higher court. There were reports of drama in the courtroom as the MPs refused to enter the dock, claiming parliamentary privilege was being breached. Tory peer Lord Hanningfield is due at court later today.

BGarvie

In addition to the three Labour and one Tory Peer appearing in Court today, the Metropolitan Police has begun a criminal inquiry into Harry Cohen, who claimed more than £70,000 for a “second home” while renting out his main property. Perhaps the Met Police might want to investigate other MPs doing the same trick. Ask the question: where is Gordon’s first home that entitles him to claim a second home allowance? Brown lives in grace and favour accomodation in Downing Street, he has use of the grace and favour Chequer’s mansion. He pays nothing in rent or mortgage for those properties. When he married he adroitly gave to Sarah the flat he bought cheaply in dubious circumstances from Robert Maxwell’s estate and apparently rents it out at a profit. That leaves only his old Fife home. It is clearly his real home, it is the only one he owns. Yet he designates it as his “second home” for expenses purposes.

Not guilty plea entered ? Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

I concur with Mr Garvie & feel that the arrogance of these thieving swine is beyond belief. However, what a convenient smokescreen to distract us from Brown's own dodgy dealings.

Levi Malone

I share the same opinion as BGarvie that Brown should be investigated as to his ' second home ' status . No doubt the politcal elite would close ranks to defend his position as being within the law but it certainly is not within the spirit of the law . Furthermore we haven't forgotten that the former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith claimed that her sister's back bedroom was her primary residence enabling her to claim a six figure sum from the taxpayer for her so-called second home .
