I&#39;m sure the Inland revenue wouldn&#39;t quibble over a few tens of thousands of pounds for us all, and it certainly wouldn&#39;t mean being prosecuted for fraud.</p><p>Speaking of bold moves - how is your big push for reform of drugs legislation? Oh. yeah. It doesn&#39;t exist. Did you forget about it? Don&#39;t be surprised that you will be forgotten too unless you stand out - because right now when people say our party doesn&#39;t matter or make a difference, with the notable exception of Vince Cable and some excellent MPs that feels like the truth at the moment.<br /> </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://liberalprovocateur.vox.com/library/post/just-the-person-to-review-mp-expenses-not.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00e398984eaa000100f48cde99e80002?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> fraud liberal democrats parliament corruption
