Subject: RE: BS: My Government At Work
Well I see today a Labour MP was certainly at his work !
Labour MP David Chaytor has pleaded guilty to three charges of fraud over his expenses. His admission of fraudulently claiming Parliamentary expenses means he is the first politician to get a criminal conviction in connection with the scandal.

Chaytor had previously denied the charges screaming he did nothing wrong. He was to stand trial at Southwark Crown Court on Monday. Today he changed his plea to guilty. He will be sentenced on January 7 at Southwark Crown Court and faces a maximum of seven years jail. He is expected to receive a more lenient sentence due to his guilty plea.
