The Mail on Sunday is reporting that David Cameron has finally decided to back plans to de-select husband and wife Cheshire MPs Ann & Nicholas Winterton. The two were recently found guilty by the Parliamentary Commissioner of having broken the rules by claiming rent for a flat they already owned.They also refused Cameron's order to publish thier expenses on the Tory website.

After the Tories accusing Labour of sleaze in the past few months, have the Conservatives not been watching their back yard enough?

Ann & Nicholas Winterton MP have both been found guilty by the Parliamentary Commissioner of misusing thier expenses. Despite being told in Feb 2007 that thier arrangements were 'inconsistent' with the rules they carried on claiming the allowance erroneously until it was exposed by the media in Feb this year.

Why doesn't someone make a formal complaint about Ashcroft? He apparently isn't on the electoral register anywhere, his companies are a web of international intrigue (some British, some not British) and the Tories appear to be lying about his tax and residence status.

Ashcroft's ill-gotten gains which may have been illegally donated to the Tories are funding nasty, personal attacks against some of our brightest and best candidates.

Plus he's paying millions in to the Tories nationally.

If someone is the majority (or outright) owner of a company and therefore has the power to direct that company to make a political donation, surely that should be seen in the same way as Abrahams' donations via proxy or Hain's imaginary think tank.

Otherwise why doesn't everyone who wants to make a secret donation just register an imaginary company and make the donations through that...

HOLD ON A MINUTE - THAT'S JUST WHAT LOTS OF THE TORIES HAVE DONE....
