These stories are certainly exposing just how much MPs can claim for. Apparently, she is able to claim for her internet connection, but not the adult films somebody at her house watched. MPs must earn more in expenses than most peoples salaries and it is certainly time for a big shake up in the system.

>if she is so lax over her personal life
She is not lax at all.
She is VERY VERY THOROUGH at claiming anything and everything she thinks she can get away with (at our expense).
I dont call this lax, I call it verging on the criminal.
Do MPs employ a secretary who JUST finds out everything they can claim for and then claim for it, because it seems like it.

>But to sponsor an MP`s spouse to have a JR is
>beyond the p--- take
Just a clarification.
On Sky an "over 18" movie can be any mainstream movie that would have be an 18 at the cinema.
I believe one of the movies watched was Oceans 13.
btw Not trying to get this thieving cow off the hook, just making a clarification.
I hope she is forced to resign.

She is but one of a virtual barrel load of rotten apples masquerading as our political overlords, pontificating what's good for us while at the same time picking our pockets at every turn.
Whether or not she's "fit" in the moral sense to do her job is a no brainer - no, she isn't ! But if not her, then who? None of them is untainted from this sleaze.
Why do you think they're all pooping themselves at the prospect of their expenses records being made public this year? Why would they have fought against it for three years if they had nothing to hide?
Sadly, WE, the great British public, are inadvertantly to blame for having elected the scum in the fist place. But not only are the "elected members" ripping us off bigtime, it seems as if many of their family and friends are benefitting from their ill-gotten gains as well.
I'm off now to cool down in a darkened room in my straitjacket before my gaskets blow - again !!!!!!!!!!

Yet another example of another pig caught with its snout in the trough. We seem to have questions on here every week or so regarding bent /corrupt/dishonest/lying MPs who always seem to offer to "pay back what I have mistakenly claimed" - only after they have been rumbled.
When will people learn that they are ALL bent? Why do people, like most on here, keep on criticising them and yet are the first to go out and actually vote for these parastic liars?
Personally I cannot bring myself to vote for a liar - can you?

mike:
I agree with what you've said, however, is it not fair to say that by voting for whoever, takes quite a leap of faith in the first place?
After all, hindsight's a marvellous thing and I'm sure 99% of voters would never have elected them in the fist place had we all known what we do now?
Incidentally, the remaining 1% would be their family members rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of getting on that good old Westminster gravy train !!!

The argument that 'Oceans 13' was one of the rented films holds no water.
The expense allowance is for media specifically related to the MP's duties so that hardly qualifies any more than do pron films rented by the Home Secretary's husband.
Hang on, I haven't though this through - one film is about thievery and the others are about shafting - so on the basis of Ms Smith's current behaviour, they can be justified as research, she has certainly acted on the information they contain!

I think she is building up her nest egg before being kicked out at the the next general election. She only has about a 2000 majority so she has not much to lose by hanging on and facing the ridicule and name calling. What crooks are allowed to benefit from their ill gotten gains as she will probably not want to repay the housing allowance although she may pay back the video costs. Big deal!
there are no qualifications needed to be an mp or minister other that convincing people to vote for you,
she is in the top four positions of power in government,
at the very least she has shown poor attention to detail and bad judgement.....not the best attributes for the home secretary,
quite clearly she is not up to the job and should go.
