Publish in full or be damned, says The Times after Parliament's blackest day
"All MPs should, today, republish their expenses with the redactions
removed. Otherwise we will consider each of them to be signatories to
this brazen betrayal of trust. Each of the party leaders should set an
example to his party. Hiding behind data protection issues or security
threats is pathetic, and not an excuse. Anyone determined to find out
where an MP lives can do so. The Prime Minister's residence is hardly a
secret. If bank account details would be shown in an unredacted claim,
change accounts. Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg should lead
the way, publishing their claims, unedited, unredacted, untarnished by
black ink." - Times leader
> On CentreRight Stephan Shakespeare says David Cameron must not surrender to the desire of Tory MPs for a gentler stance on their expenses.
