A report by the Commons Standards Committee said Mr Benton had given the message "he was corrupt and 'for sale' and that so were many other Members of the House".

He's my MP and generally well-thought of despite

Don't be quite so quick to rub your hands at the thought of the Conservatives getting another drubbing in a by-election.

One of the best MP's there is round these parts- despite making a stupid mistake, he's 100 times better than the old Labour MP in Blackpool- this one has actually stood up for the town and got stuff done.

It never fails to amuse me when Tory apologists try to find equivalent bad behaviour on the Labour side, as if that makes it OK. Two wrongs do not make a Right (pun intended).

He may now be an independent, how long did he represent the Tory's ?

14.43. He got stuff done. And he tried hard to get stuff done for himself buy the looks of it. Fill his wallet by all accounts.

The usual suspects are out in force, supporting a corrupt Tory MP - a report by the Commons Standards Committee said Mr Benton had given the message "he was corrupt and 'for sale' and that so were many other Members of the House".

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

As Graham Hughes explains in this video (with plenty of examples), Scott Benton’s behaviour is pretty standard practice amongst Tory MPs – so perhaps he quite rightly feels hard done by at being kicked off the gravy train.
