MPs save kitchen cabinet
We're desperately in need of a new kitchen so I think I'll have to become a member of parliament. MPs have just voted to retain their so-called John Lewis list with allowances for home improvements - such as £10,000 for a new kitchen - and other "essentials" like a wide screen TV (up to £750).
The problem is I'm just not sure which party to join. I suppose the obvious choice would be the Monster Raving Loony Party but, wait, the Church of the Militant Elvis Party sounds interesting.
With 26 names on the ballot paper, the Haltemprice and Howden by election, forced by the resignation of Tory MP David Davis, is fielding the largest number of candidates that anyone can remember.
This suggests to me that it is time that election deposits need to rise. If so many people are prepared to risk losing their £500 deposits, perhaps the economy is not in quite such bad shape after all.
