Speaker of the House of Commons Michael Martin is today under intense fire because his wife has been claiming taxi expenses for get-togethers that may not have been related to official business.
Indeed, from what I have heard she had claimed over £4000 in taxi fares to basically pay for her mates to come round to their house for a piss up.
If this is true, Martin must go. His position would become untenable: particularly since he is supposed to be leading an enquiry into MPs bogus expenses claims.
However given that Martin is fighting tooth and nail to stop expenses breakdowns being revealed I think it’s reasonable to suggest that there is no smoke without fire on this issue. After all, why else would he be so bothered about it..
