    Mine lived in a taxpayer funded flat that changed ownership and was given the option of taking £10k and leaving or paying a higher rent. He took the £10k (despite having contributed nothing to the rent), moved out, and then moved back in 6 months later, again at the taxpayers expense, only this time paying the higher rent.

    Ours has effectively been retired on the job since 2006. Sex scandal, after which he announced he would step down at the next election.

    My local MP is great. I've met him several times and he's always doing things for the constituency. I had never voted Tory before he came along and I've been really impressed with him. He even backed me when I was challenging a government dept under the FOI Act and chased the local NHS trust on my behalf when I lodged a complaint. TBH I think I would still vote for him even if I didn't like the rest of the party as he is good value for money (unusually).

    My local MP goes by the name of MacKay. I thought he was a pretty good constituency MP, but then the expenses were revealed.
    He has said he won't stand next time around (presumably he's seeing his term through to pick up a nice payoff at the end!), so I don't need to not vote for him.
