The cheek of the woman, p!ssing of to Australia for a whole month for some dumb TV show.
To think that these MPs complain about being overworked, needing secretaries and running up all sorts of other expenses, yet they can just walk off the job for a whole month.
Let's hope her suspension leads to her sacking or resignation.

HMMMM.... let's see, if Joe Bloggs "walked of the job" for a week, let alone a month, would he have a job to come back to? Will she still be paid as an MP during this time? Who is doing her job while she makes a fool of herself for tv?

This really troubles me. If she was one of the inner circle I very much doubt she would have been suspended but she is Nadine, he has got a bit of a thorn out of his side and has the ability now to get rid of an unquiet voice, and oh god has she been moaning lately. Don't get me wrong, I think that anyone who goes on these reality shows deserves to die a hideous and nasty death but thats another issue.

What about Gordon Brown? He's hardly ever in parliament.

Be thankful.

who ?

Surely you can't forget that much pain so quickly? Seriously though he's hardly ever there and no-one seems to say a thing. Perhaps they're all just relieved. It will be interesting to see if he stands at the next election.
No-one seems to want to give him a job.
Position as head of the US treasury is free

Meanwhile he continues to draw his paypacket, plus expenses of course, courtesy of the long suffering UK taxpayers.

I was thinking we should be ablle to sue the likes of Brown for gross negligence, then I realised who would be paying the bill.

That would keep lots of lawyers very happy for years.

Looks like she is settling in....

Correct me if I am wrong but aren't most M.P.s directors of some companies or other for which they receive salaries or more likely other benefits for which they do not pay tax. If they are running the country then why should they not be made to do just that? We rightly chase up dole scoungers for doing jobs on the side. in my view there is no difference. Is Camerons wife still a tax exile? I'm sure that she was.

I don't think as many have second jobs as used to, now they all have to declare any such jobs and that's now all public record, what really gets me is watching the Parliamentary channel, and seeing a debate where there are, perhaps, 10 MPs present, the other 600+ are being paid, so where are they? They're all there if they know the debate may make the main TV news, but all these debates are about some changes to the law etc.

Do you mean Lord Astor? Her step dad?


Class wars never die do they?

Tough life innit, being an M.P.
She's only suspended for now, so likely still drawing her pay packet at our expense to boot.
Talk about taking the p!ss.


I'm sure I caught a glimpse of her left nipple there, or was it only wishful thinking ?

Talk of her going off to UKIP now, well, after I'm a Celebrity get me more Famous you'd think her career couldn't slide any lower.... I'm proved wrong.
