MP fraud and tax evasion – no accountability in British politics Can honesty, integrity, professionalism and trust exist in our elected representatives

David Wilshire to stand down at the next election.

Tory MP David Wilshire has announced that he will stand down at the next election after a meeting with Tory chief whip Patrick McLoughlin.

He still maintains he's " done nothing wrong " and is confident that the Commissioner will clear his name.

In a a statement he said " In the circumstances I have reluctantly concluded that it is sensible for me not to seek re-election next year. " Could it be that he's been given his marching orders by David Cameron who doesn't want the bad smell and scandal of the MPs expenses following him through the upcoming election next year??

Gordon Brown talking about David Wilshire is seen in the video below stating that " there has got to be an inquiry into this " and " we've got to end the discredited old system " ( the discredited old system that was self-implemented, self-monitored and self-maintained by MPs! )

All the time you've got 50 Labour MPs meeting up with Harriet Harman to seek advice about their own expenses claims being investigated by Thomas Legg - how are you going to end the discredited system?? Gordon Brown needs to get his own house in order before he starts demanding investigations into other MPs expenses.
