I believe that his name is pronounced "David Cheater".

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
 

Despicable, this guy along with the three others have tried their level best to get out of a trial from the get go, we now know why.
This greedy sod has brought shame upon politics and the Labour party and deserves the sentence he received.
As far as the rest of the so called "honourable members" and IPSA, the body that replaced the old disgraced fee's office goes they have now deemed it not financially worth publishing MP's expense receipts anymore.
I wondered how long it would take for the new independent IPSA to cave in on some of their new rules.

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
 

the ipsa may not be publishing anymore (hadn't heard that) but the info is still going to be freely available though isn't it? ,because it would be financially viable for the press to publish it as i'm sure they will

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
 

Eric Illsley has pled guilty as well.

He's still an MP for now, expect that to change.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is all a ploy to ruin Ken Clarkes plan to reduce the prison population :D

And Jim Devine. Him getting send down will be almost as good as 'Comrade' Sheridan getting found guilty of perjury.

I wonder if by pleading guilty to a lesser amount(ie £14,500) than the amount charged(£25,000), he hopes to get a shorter prison sentence than the other guy who was convicted for a £22,000+ fraud.

If the sentence is less than 12 months, he might be able to still be a MP or at least become one again.

MP reports colleagues....

Hmmm... a disgruntled northern MP - I wonder who that could be?... Anyway, it seems there may be more to come in this sorry tale of people who really ought to have known better!

Re: MP reports colleagues....

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
 

Him being found guilty made my day.

Lets hope he goes down for a good while.

Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud
 

Also his claims seemed to be for the same amount as his overdraft, how very convenient.

I have to say I'm surprised he's taking it to trial, his defence might be a popcorn moment.
