No doubt many of you will be aware of our beloved MPs voting to exempt themselves from the Freedom of Information Act. The full list of how MPs voted on this amendment can be found here. Shame on those who voted in the “aye” lobby.
We’ll now you have the chance to voice your concern.

I noticed that as well. It is a real disgrace that so few MPs have voted!

No wonder PM’s are held in such universal low esteem and contempt by the electorate - and rightly so based on the latest abuse of their position of trust. We need another Cromwell to sort out this corrupt and ineffective clique of self-serving parasites who prosper because we allow them to. We should all write to our MPs and see them at their ’surgeries’ and ensure that we leave them in no doubt how their actions are regarded. Parliament cannot speak with any moral authority whilst our MP’s place themselves above the laws, we the governed, are expected to adhere to with penalties should we not.
