How many more?
How many more are behaving in this way? Yet another MP is caught and found guilty. Not one of the UK's MPs but this time a former SNP MP."A former SNP MP embezzled thousands of pounds from pro-independence groups and money intended for a food bank to pay her rent and go on holiday to Spain, a court has heard.
McGarry, 37, pleaded guilty to two counts of embezzlement at Glasgow Sheriff Court when she appeared there last month."

Re: How many more?
Even more of an eye-opener is this from Wikipedia – Category: British politicians convicted of crimes – there are hundreds of them, far too many to read up about and post on here. Click on the link below and then on links within that one at your leisure:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catego...cted_of_crimes

It seems like they're just laughing at the rest of us. Greed is a horrible vice.

377 MPs blocked from using parliamentary credit cards for breaking expenses rules in three years.
Mr Corbyn's card was suspended twice
His deputy, Tom Watson, and shadow Cabinet members Diane Abbott, Richard Burgon and Rebecca Long-Bailey breached expenses rules
Amber Rudd, Stephen Barclay, Greg Clark, Chris Grayling, David Mundell, Rory Stewart and Jeremy Wright had cards blocked
Nearly 400 MPs, including nine Cabinet ministers and Jeremy Corbyn, have been blocked from using their parliamentary credit cards for breaking rules on expenses in just over three years.
Documents released under the Freedom of Information Act revealed that the cards issued to cover MPs’ costs were suspended 1,114 times between May 2015 and September 2018.
Sir Alistair Graham, the former chairman of the committee on standards in public life, said: “It shows there is either something fundamentally wrong with the system, or we’ve got a bunch of highly incompetent slovenly MPs who can’t keep to the rules.”
