James Wharton MP

I was on BBC tees straight after work today with the Labour MP, to discuss MP’s expenses.  The Labour MP for this area claims the highest level of expenses in the North of England and was recently found guilty of abusing public funds by a House of Commons committee.  I was amazed therefore that until earlier today Labour were going to vote to block the release of the details of MPs expenses claims.  Thankfully Gordon Brown has backed down and I look forward to seeing what it made available in due course.
