Despite what the right-wing anti-Irish loonies have to say, it looks like Sinn Fein have come up squeaky clean. You can be sure if there were anything there we'd know all about it in short order, with no need for spin and invention.

As it is it they've only claimed accomodation and utilities. No flipping property portfolios or any of them rest of the disgraceful claims made by Labour and Tories.

And the £500,000 is for 5 MPs over six years, so much less than the maximum.

It's always amusing how the rabid right never cease to overreach themselves and spoinl what had been quite a good run until this pathetic effort

Lord Iain of Dale said on Twitter: "I wish people would stop f***ing emailing me telling me Guido's blog is down. Why email me? Email him! His servers are down. No conspiracy."

You mean Guido's website is down?!?!?! OH MY GOD, IT MUST BE A ZANU LIEBORE CONSPIRACY TO STOP THE TRUTH GETTING OUT!!!1!!!!11! ;-)

I can't make head nor tail of Kerry McCarthy myself. She publishes a piece which looks like it wasn't written by her, and later she publishes one of the most sensible things about MPs expenses I've ever read. Keeps me reading, I suppose.
