Maybe all MP's should be bugged at all times to dissuade them from carrying out illegal acts e.g. accepting donations, expense fiddles, etc. etc.

They are. Apparently MI5 has a department that does nothing else but monitor MPs and senior civil servants. Although I think in the 60s there was some kind of agreement that MPs wouldn't be bugged in certain circs.

The real crime surely is the fact that a British Citizen is about to be extradited on this one-way ticket deal between the UK and US, despite facing no charges here?

3.Found to contain quantities of "unacceptable pornography" and
4.Jailed for years and
5.Your name put on the registered sex offenders list and

He wasn't bugged, he was out looking for badges.

If you were in Russia those contracts would have only been good to write an obituary.

Like the NatWest bankers... who suddenly 'fessed up when extradited & confronted by a more robust judicial system?
