It’s the Thursday night PB sleaze thread
The Telegraph exposes go into a second week
This is all getting into a regular routine. First we get the teaser, then the big story to be followed a little later on by other MPs who are in the same broad category.
So what do we know about tonight? This is from the paper:- “The latest disclosures from the Telegraph on MPs’ expenses show questionable claims submitted by a minister working in one of the highest offices of state…The eighth day of The Daily Telegraph’s investigation into the abuse of the House of Commons allowances will also shed light on MPs who are married to other MPs. Some of the couples have taken advantage of lax policing of the system of second-home allowances.”
The big question is whether those two elements could be linked? The “minister working in one of the highest offices of state” and the Westminster married couples.
No doubt the details will emerge in the coming hours.
