An actual quote from my local liar and part time MP, Paul Flynn: " I have no personal gripe here as the Telegraph named me one of five 'Expenses Angels'. It was because of evidence that I submitted to Kelly." Now as I have covered his expenses here before (see the sidebar), I will just add that the Telegraph in this instance got it wrong. Quite simply when an MP claims back...

Paul Flynn - Newport deserves better.

President Karzai should start his war on corruption by investigating his own family's new riches and links to the drug trade. This is unlikely. Gordon Brown is pulling on rubber levers. Nothing will change. Corruption has been the lubricant of Afghan political and business life for centuries. This is another mission impossible that will be as successful as the hope in 2006 that not a bullet would...

Its been a little while since I commented on my loony MP, but he has come up with a classic today. He has this to say on a local councillor: "What will Peter Davies do next to embarrass the city? In everyway, he is beyond a joke." WTF? Paul Flynn calling anyone, an I mean anyone a joke is a serious jaw dropping statement. This from a man who jokes about farmers suicides, claims...

Some people mistakenly think MPs are too grand for the little things in life - such as holding an umbrella to save a colleague from a drenching. Ynys Mon MP Albert Owen dispels the myth to allow Paul Flynn to hold forth for the cameras on the subject of Carwyn Jones's Welsh leadership bid. I suspect the cameraman - from RhonddaTV? - may have filmed this as rather more of a close-up than...

The ombudsman's recommendations on compensation for victims of the insurer's collapse are being snuffed out On 5 November 1605, Guy Fawkes intended to blow up parliament. He failed, but on 5 November 2009, the similarly bearded Labour MP Paul Flynn declared Fawkes' work was successfully completed . Any idea that parliament was supreme in this land was "a quaint old-fashioned view",...

... allegation, and they sacked her. That's her crime - being on the database. So, I wonder how keen Paul Flynn, a Labour MP in Newport, is to be on that database? He's one of the loudest 'nothing to hide, nothing to fear' shouters out there. He has commiited no crime so being on the database holds no fear for him. So he says. He has yet to prove that. Simply being on the database can...
