MPs expenses: Independent on Sunday



Here she goes... here she goes again!

Cath Levett rocks!

Smashing graphic in the Independent on Sunday at the weekend

Aggregating all of the news from the Telegraph from the past nine days (maths right me thinks)

But taking things further, where most print media would never dare go

This is great journalism

Modern

Fresh

Content based

It has a headline, and an intro, visual driven with text narrative. But its not a graphic

Crikey. New journalism!

Right to reply

The plain truth

After publishing MPs claims for the past six days, the Telegraph offered MPs the 'right to reply' to allegations of ethical and moral abuse of the 'Additional Costs Allowance' system

Above is Daniel Kawczynski, Conservative MP for Shrewsbury and Atcham, speaking out for honest MPs who claim little

Only four MPs have exercised their right to reply at the Telegraph TV video booth, although all 646 MPs have been contacted

Which would indicate that they have something to hide, or out of embarrassment, little to say

Tax payers loss, MPs gain

MPs under pressure, again!

Tonight the Daily Telegraph revealed the full extent to which MPs will go to furnish their lavish life styles

Benedict Brogan, and an incredible team effort by Telegraph reporters, have uncovered what members of Parliament hoped would never see the light of day

The most widespread of abuses, comes under the 'Additional Costs Allowance', which reimburses MPs for the cost of running a second home, either in their constituency or in London, to be able to attend Westminster

Its all going to come out in the wash

Blimey, you couldn't make it up!
