Alan Duncan, a Tory frontbencher, is the sort of MP that gives Parliament a bad name. He was in the papers today for very much the wrong reasons. If the Tories want to give themselves a new, clean image, they should get rid of these idiots who are totally on a different planet from the rest of us.
1) He has said that MPs are being treated like sh.it and forced to live on “rations” following the expenses scandal.
2) He rejected criticism of his decision to claim thousands of pounds for gardening bills at his second home in his constituency of Rutland, saying that “the world has gone mad”.
3) Alan Duncan repaid £5,000 (wow! Don't push the boat out!) after The Daily Telegraph revealed that the Commons fees office questioned whether his claims “could be considered excessive.”

Later in a statement, Mr Duncan said: "The last thing people want to hear is an MP whingeing about his pay and conditions (no sh.it Sherlock...)
"It is a huge honour to be an MP and my remarks, although meant in jest, were completely uncalled for. I apologise for them unreservedly."
Well, I don't think I'm being too harsh here but in my opinion David Cameron should have a quiet word with Alan Duncan and urge him to stand down before the next General Elections.
