Should be sacked straight away. If it's deliberate deception they should be nicked

Sorry marco you are only half right. He should be jailed then sacked.

Jailed and assets seized under the proceeds of crime legislation the assumption being that he's been fraudulently claiming for years. Scum

I agree and that should go for all who do it.

From the news report:-

The committee's report described Mr MacShane's false claims as "far from what would be acceptable in any walk of life" and "fell far below the standards of integrity and probity expected of every member of the House".

[Dedworth]

We shouldn't judge him too harshly, he's obviously a thoroughly decent man as he says :-

"I remain committed to work for progressive values, for Britain playing a full part in Europe, and for combating anti-semitism even though I can no longer undertake this work as a Labour MP. "

The mind boggles terpe no false claim is acceptable. It just makes you wonder what they do get away with.
