If your MP had made NO speeches in the House of Commons in the past year...
If your MP sat on NO Select Committees in the House of Commons...
If your MP has ALWAYS voted against ALL bills designed to create a more transparent Parliament...
If your MP worked for Lloyd's Pharmacy, Pepsico, Diaverum Healthcare, Covidien and Bridgepoint Capital...
If your MP earned more from his outside jobs than he does as an MP...
If your MP claimed the MAXIMUM Additional Costs Allowance to enable him to represent his electorate, despite playing no discernible role in the House of Commons...
If your MP lives over 50 miles from his constituency...
If you're wondering what bloody use your MP is to his constituency...
You probably live in Darlington.

Cheating thieving scum.
anyone know of any more because this sort of factual information should inform voters next week
The following is from Open Europe's press report of today
Leading opponent of UK's 48-hour opt-out pockets thousands in MEP allowances
The News of the World reported that Labour MEP Stephen Hughes is claiming his full £42,000 office allowance this year, despite his office rent being just £1,642. He also pays his wife, a local Councillor, £40,000 to be his "chief of staff". The paper notes that he is not breaking any rules, as the EU permits members to claim the full amount even if they do not spend it. It also notes that "he could have raked in hundreds of thousands from the benefit over his 25-year MEP career." Stephen Hughes is leading the European Parliament's campaign to end the UK's opt-out from the 48-hour week.
