Iain Dale has made a plea that everyone who can to write about the appalling decision by Harriet Harman to override a judge's ruling about the declaration of MP's expenses. In no other industry would this be allowed - expenses claimed without the production of a valid receipt.
If MPs voted for this the damage that that they would do to the perception that the public hold them in would be enormous - MPs already are held in very low esteem (made worse by incidences such as Margaret Beckett's gazebo being funded by the tax payer) and the image of having their snouts-in-the-trough will be heightened.
Some MPs have realised this and are preparing a vote against the proposal.
Contact your MP here and tell them what you think - it stinks.
