Peter h - What I do remember is that people like you dreaming of a pure "proper" labour government is at least in part what kept us in opposition for 18 years.
John Leech claimed that his expenses are high becasue he is a new MP. Perhaps he can explain why two of his Lid Dem colleagues (also new MP's Paul Rowan and Mark Hunter from Rochdale and Cheadle) managed to spend more than £55000 less than Mr leech and that is before we add in his £15000 council allowance. as to whether there is "evidence to the contrary" we will presumably just have to wait and see.
