10 Crap MPs
In their new book Crap MPs, Bendor Grovesnor and Geoffrey Hicks count down the forty worst Members of Parliament, a motley collection of rogues, liars, murderers and shaggers from the past 500 years. There are 10 serving MPs in the list, but can you guess their identity from the plethora of miscreants to have emerged over the summer? You can post your answers below. Here are the clues: • For one MP this year will be remembered for his domus anas platyrhynchos
• For another she was ‘photo-finished’
• This MP claimed she lived in a Sainted City, but was very definitely not a saint.
• We say Bon Voyage to this MP
• And farewell to the last of the Old Order for this one
• Some of us were less polite about this bastion of moral sensibility than just to call him a “thieving toad”.
• Assuredly a catman rather than batman for this MP.
• And for this little nipper, we’re all just jealous.
• True to character this larger than life MP was the only government minister in history to be officially given (and keep) a cowboy outfit
• Finally, here was a whip who lost his whip.
Crap Mps is a countdown of the 40 worst Members of Parliament in British political
history. You could be forgiven for thinking that our current crop of
MPs are a bunch of sleaze-ridden, money-grabbing, self-serving
individuals with a tendency to be economical with the truth and less
than economical with their expenses. And you may well be right, but are
they any worse then their predecessors?
