As one of his constituents I must humbly disagree.
Careless and naive definitely, however he didn't say what he did for personal gain.
I think he's not used to power, and has gotten a little drunk on it. Shame as I think he's an honest and good man even if I disagree with many of his views, and fundamentally I have no doubt he thought he was doing the right thing.
I also however think his ego is getting in the way of his brain, his attitude reeked of 'Me the man' and that needs to go.
I'll see if I can visit his surgery early next year, if those planks at the Telegraph haven't made him so defensive it would be rendered pointless, as I do need to discuss constituency matters with him.
I am very, very annoyed with what the Telegraph have done here. They've entrapped an MP by pretending to be a constituent and now MPs will all be somewhat hesitant when dealing with their constituents and will not be open with them about anything remotely controversial
The other thing to note is what the Telegraph did with the story when they had it - suppress parts of it for their own advantage.
