Three labour MPs are arguing they cannot be prosecuted over expenses claims because they are protected by parliamentary privilege.

The trio – Elliot Morley, David Chaytor and Jim Devine – are being represented by a legal firm that has acted as solicitor to the Labour Party since 1990.

StevieG,

In the eyes of any right minded person it is fraud/theft/false accounting. These people are the lowest of the low, stealing off those that put them into a position of trust.

I'm afraid, "rotten to the very core" springs to mind.
