Yesterday Gordon Brown said that the worst offenders of the MP expenses scandal ’should be prosecuted.’ However it turns out that he well may have to look at prosecuting himself. The BBC claim that it is ‘highly likely’ that the Prime Minister will have to pay back money that he has wrongly claimed.

With sources at Whitehall saying that ‘the majority’ of MPs’ will have to pay back something or be asked for justification this is the last thing the Government wanted to hear. With several MPs’ already stepping down after the first round of scandals, perhaps come election time the public will make that decision for him, as this latest bit of news will only lessen his already low standing in the people’s eyes.
