And Another One Bites The Dust.

Conservative  MP Scott Benton faces suspension from Parliament for thirty five days, over a "very serious breach"of standard rules. A standards commitee report said the MP had given the message "He was corrupt and  for sale".

.....To me that is the norm for a Con MP.....

What an unpleasant remark.

how true - how true! - ( the remark that is!)

The problem ( issue) is - having identified one bad apply - er that wd be the MP - it is natural to wonder if there are more and how many

and it doesnt sit well to say - "corrupt Tory MPs ? who cd think such an untrue insulting remark"

Gullz might remark: well just look at them, for chrissakes

Strangely the Standards Committee did not investigate his claim that ‘so were many other Members of the House (corrupt)’ for some reason.

no he gave the impreesion that many others were corrupt

NOT they were actually on the take

Bit Jesuitical I agree, but a reason not to go further. Yeah yeah I realise none of the usual suspects are gonna swallow that one

Apparently in light of the latest Tory scandal involving an MP, the Tories have launched a campaign to find new MPs.
