What does an MP have to do these days to end up in an Open Prison?
Why isn't Maria Miller in jail?

She needs to be convicted of a criminal offence for starters.

Wasn't it decided that it was actually £5800 not £45k because the logic used to ascertain £45k was somewhat daft?
She needs to be a labour mp.... honestly 90% of the MP's 'convicted' and shown on the news/in papers for fraud appear to be labour, yet the conservatives and lib dems are as bad if not worse....
At the very least she needed to be fired but this is a conservative so basically all the rich cronies will say she's done nothing wrong as they're all doing the same... (obviously opinion not factually accurate)
Still think the MP's get too much for in many cases sod all work, I can't claim back a home mortgage against my work earnings and taxes....

You might want to look at the makeup of the Standards committee before you make this a party political thing.

Add to that their upcoming pay rise of 11% (£7,600) and we have a right bargain for our government.
Pigs at the trough the lot of them.

Conservatives just seem to be worse in my area (conservative stranglehold)
Don't even mention that one... my Mum hasn't had a 'real' pay rise for years (teaching assistant) and they get a pay rise around half her earnings.... same goes for nurses etc tooAdd to that their upcoming pay rise of 11% (£7,600) and we have a right bargain for our government.

That sounds like you're saying she's done nothing wrong... are you?
No, he said she would need to be convicted of a criminal offence.
Do what Chris Huhne did?
It wasn't a crime to sleep with Vicky Pryce.

Jail is for the little people.
sounds like he is just suggesting nothing can be done until it happens and he would like this.
we all know if it were a regular joe they would have been arrested the instant the DWP or whoever find out...
Someone was in the news for stealing 50k in benefits recently right?
I think she got a pathetic prison sentence and only had to pay back a fraction but an MP should be made an example of surely because what they do in their position of trust is far worse

The vast majority of them are millionaires anyway so really when these people have so much wealth is there a reason why they can't pay their own way rather than the taxpayer foot the bill?
google images say otherwise
