He'll have to do something, or Cameron will make him stay in that duck house :lol:

I thought he had already said he was standing down at the next election?

As such, Cameron's threat of withdrawing the party whip is going to be pretty meaningless.

I think expecting a tory to do the right thing is a bit naive and he should be given no choice, but there we are.

I like my version better - there is nothing lower than a tory!

Way too many of them need to do some jail time and be disqualified from public office. If any of us did something similar with benefits we would get gaol time. They need to do time as well.

Run around screaming "We are all doomed" waving his hands in the air. :D

He will have to do something like demand his knighthood back. Most MPs want that more than anything else. Strip him of his knight hood and he will pay up immediately.
