I still want to know what CF members have got against giving MPs facing disciplinary action a right of appeal, as in just about any other walk of life.

I guess dredging up all this irrelevant stuff really does show this dramatic outrage for what it is - nothing but bumfluff.

Interestingly, MPs on both sides have been muttering about the inadequacies of the present system for some time, and now the Opposition is happily discussing with the government ways of dealing with this problem, including the right of appeal!

Still, they’ve claimed a Tory scalp and made the government squirm, so who cares, eh?

That’s politics for you!

OB, when you put it like that, then sure - a good idea to have a fair disciplinary system.

But if you want to keep a Tory government, and if you don't want it tainted by sleaze accusations, you don't go and score an own goal like they did last week.
