What an absolute cock!

Making them travel 2nd class is a bit much.

I wouldn't travel 2nd class and I wouldn't expect my MP to.

Speaking on a heated radio phone-in this morning, he told furious callers 'a totally different type of people travel standard class'.

Macclesfield's ever-controversial MP also said rail passengers who did not travel by business or first class had 'a different outlook on life' and 'different status'.

Speaking as somebody who always travels first class, I certainly don't want MPs in the same carriage as me

We all know what he means and he is right about the need to avoid cattle class. (If you don’t know then you’re either a wannabe ‘professional’ or an inverted snob.) However, what gets me is that none of these MPs have the smarts to spot when they are being ambushed into these questions, or have a well thought out retort to them.

I agree with him. MPs should travel first class. How do you expect them to do work for you when some annoying teenagers are messing around with their mobile phones and ipods?

Where do you stand on expenses for duck islands?

[Mich the Tester]

I travel first class and claim the costs as expenses. I would be very upset if MPs in Holland were made to travel second class, because the vindictive bar stewards would then probably stop me claiming first class travel on expenses.

I have to admit, WHS

I too agree that MPs should travel first class. However the reason why this idiot is getting stick is because he sneered at the general population who pay his wages (and expenses etc). If he's so incompetent that he can't justify his use of first class travel without resorting to insulting his employers, he really shouldn't be in the job (and yes I know he's standing down at the next election)
