Conservatives fall out over MEP expenses reform
Barely had David Cameron completely a press conference today outlining his plans to crack down on expenses abuse by Conservative MEPs when the BBC got hold of a memo from one of those MEPs slating his proposals:
The document suggests that an attempt by Mr Cameron to merge the European and Westminster expenses system “threatens the worst of both worlds”.
It describes the proposal as a “direct breach of the Rules of the European Parliament”, which will “snatch defeat from the jaws of victory” in PR terms.
