All parties have been affected by the expenses scandal, but some far, far more so than the others. Well done to Jenny, Roger, Mark and Lembit for not milking the system. It’s interesting to see that EVERY Welsh Tory MP had to pay a significant amount back.
Also well done to all MPs from other parties who didn’t. I give credit where credit is due at least!

Surely the average payback isn’t the best way to judge ‘honesty’? It just means they’ve paid less back, a Lab/Con/Plaid MP could have genuinely made an error on expenses and had to pay back thousands…..a Lib Dem could have, I don’t know, put a wig on expenses…who’s the most honest?
