Labour MP used Commons staff to aid company
A Labour MP embroiled in the Westminster expenses scandal used parliamentary resources to help a company partially run from her constituency office win up to £50,000 of public funding and business sponsorship between 2006 and 2008.
The actions by Margaret Moran, MP for Luton South, appear to breach House of Commons rules. Ms Moran is already under pressure after it emerged she charged £22,500 for treating dry rot at her fiancé’s home, 100 miles from her constituency.
She was told this week she had the full support of her local party executive. But on the basis of the allegations about her expenses claims, Labour’s ruling National Executive Committee on Wednesday decided to refer her to a special disciplinary panel that will examine whether the party will endorse her as a candidate at the next general election.

If you are a member of Labour's scrutiny committee in Luton, you ought to be rethinking your future. It also illustrates the problem with Party system and executives in local areas.
I have no idea how Blackpool chose it prospective candidate for the Conservatives. I would have loved to have been invited and I would have produced several letters that would have more than embarrassed the executive, some past and present office holders.
Least to say that Blackpool Conservative have proven to me they are not worth £15 a year subscription. I'd hate t see the mire the Labour shower are in.
They should award you £15 for joining!
