Boris Johnson was willing to take money from your schools, your hospitals and your high streets to cover up Tory corruption.

More than 100 Tory MP's failed to vote with the prime minister, even though, according to one backbencher, some were told "they would lose funding for their constituency" if they failed to to the line. [Financial Times 4 November 20121]

So this is what we should expect. My Tory constituency MP did what he will always do - he has no conscience as far as I can see. He voted for the Bill. We will, therefore, expect to keep our funding - except it is a Labour Council and a Labour Mayor so probably not.

So is this how our legislative intend to control us? No democracy just Pork Barrel Politics.

Oops. Should have said the heading is a quote from a KS tweet.
