Norman Baker, Caught Out

This week’s big news is the parliamentary watchdog criticising our Lib Dem MP Norman Baker for breaching spending rules.

Earlier this year Baker put out a newsletter paid for with money that MPs can use to tell people about their activities. But Baker used the newsletter to promote the work of the Liberal Democrats, which is not allowed under the rules.

Thankfully the committee in Parliament that keeps tabs on MPs’ behaviour has now criticised Baker for wrongly using public money to promote his own party.

Baker is always keen to jump on the bandwagon when other MPs breach the rules so it seems hypocritical that he himself is breaking those same rules.
