Labour labelled 'self serving' over allowances vote
Friday, 04 July 2008

Glasgow SNP MSP, Sandra White, has launched a scathing attack on Scottish Labour MPs, labelling them as "self-serving" and "out of touch" after they voted to reject reforms to tighten Westminster's expenses system, and put an end to the so called 'John Lewis list'.

Ms White said: "While families in Glasgow are struggling to make ends meet, these Labour MPs are feathering their nests.

"In the same week these same Labour MPs voted against SNP proposals to provide relief from soaring fuel prices for hard-pressed families and businesses, they vote to cling to their own luxury allowances.
 

"Rejecting reform of their expenses shows just how out of touch and self-serving Labour have become, and these MPs should be named and shamed.
