So, this MP didn't realise for 20 months that his mortgage had been paid off. Oh, I "should have kept a tighter rein" and I feel "terrible about the situation".

Yes, I bet he does.


"A former environment minister has admitted claiming £16,000 on expenses for a mortgage that did not exist.

Labour MP Elliot Morley claimed £800 per month for a property in SLady bitshorpe, Lincolnshire, when the mortgage had already been paid.

Mr Morley told the BBC he repaid the money after realising he had mistakenly continued claiming for his mortgage payments after it was repaid in 2006."

Apparently, the best bits are to come, including an item on Westminster "couples". This is like a soap.  

Very fair comments indeed Nick

Still no one has taken to the streets.

Bankers ruin the economy by indisciminate lending
Billions given to the banks despite no guarantees
Billions borrowed, for kids not even born yet to pay back
Politicians on the make

Now if this was France then they would have been blockading the channel tunnel by now!

How the mighty have fallen. I'll clear my own moat, buy my own hob nobs (other oat based snacks are available) & hang my own chandalier. If i "forget" when i've finally paid off my mortgage please remind me.

  Methinks the gravy train has de-railed!!!!

I would like to see these MP's investigated and prosecuted for fraud, but you can bet that won't happen.

If it was you or me though.............

"Benefit fraud - there's no escape, if's or buts"

One rule for us, and another for the "elite"
