If I was a rich man!

Rats in a sack. All as bad as each other. The time for a new politics is desperate.

Cameron must, in all honour resign. As should Clegg. We all know that Brown would not know the meaning of the word honour!

The Conservative Party must rid itself of all those that have taken the public for fools and abused the expenses system. As must the Liberal Democrats. We all know that the Labour Prty will never follow suit, but they will get their due desserts-come the election.

Failure to deal drastically will result in a cull, come the election. All bets are now off.

Peter Buss

What a lot of nonsense saying cameron should resign.he is being sked to provide a statement of his mortgage for one month when his mortgage changed as he was moving home. this is getting into a bloodthirsty witchunt showing the public at its hypocritical worst.

T Smith

Cameron said he would SACK any MP found of financial wrongdoing. He ahs not sacked a single MP. How can he sack any when he was at it himself, oh sorry they were all within the rules.

 

Cameron if anything has come out worse as he came out in front of the cameras when it first broke saying he will sack any MP, they will be whiter than white, you can't really sack anyone as he was at it himself.

 

Cameron is a hypocrite.

Anne

I think Brown has come out the worst, Cameron paid back £216 I think, and Legg wants to see the mortgage statement relating to it that's all.

 Clegg is Clegg.

More damage for Brown. 

Shiela Dunne

I think the reason many think Cameron came out worse was the fact that he announced he would get rid of any MP found of any wrongdoing, however none have gone. Labour at least told some they couldn't stand for them.

 

That and the fact that he was doing what the rest were doing and we were paying for him even though he is a multi-millionaire.Plus people remember the moat cleaning and the duck ponds and they were all from the Conservatives, not one has gone, as promised by Cam

Tristan Downing

People remember the moat and duck island because that is what the socialist BBC constantly bang on about in programming ranging from their left wing news to their left wing comedy... Lets look at Labour for a moment: Massage chair, ipod, big plasma TV, the claimant of which aggressively argued there was nothing wrong with, refused to pay the money back for and then was given a new government job! Labour MPs and peers have acted by far the most dishonourably in total, and that clearly includes the PM MR 12 grand.

Tristan Downing

A dishonest and misleading front page by the Independent there. "They're all in it together"? In what way is Brown having to pay back over 12 grand the same as Cameron having to provide a mortgage statement? Quite a pathetic attempt to make the PM not look quite as bad as he clearly is.
