Calling MPs to account

I just flew in from Amman this afternoon to discover headlines about MP's expenses. The committee that Gordon Brown has hurriedly set up has apparently called it as it is rather than find ways of excusing MPs. No further honours for Sir Thomas Legge then.
What is astonsihing about today's story is that Labour MPs are going around complaining that they are not being treated fairly! Because they did everything within the so-called rules that they happily manipulated and are now being judged by a proper standard the word is that they now feel affronted.
Expect some protests that everything they claimed was in good faith!
