Mid Beds MP Nadine Dorries has been forced to apologise after she failed to declare earnings from her "I'm a celebrity" Rumble in the Jungle last November, in Ozland. According to the Independent (see link below and a zillion other news outlets)
"Ms Dorries had refused to declare the payment on the Register of Members' Interests because she claimed it was made to her company, Averbrook, rather than to her personally."
Whatever.
I actually thought she was giving this money to charity or something as a way of demonstrating that she went to the jungle to promote her views on abortion or something. I.e. not for the fee. Whatever.
She also says she doesn't claim any expenses now because she took umbrage at how the authorities investigated the expenses she did claim. Anyway, whatever.
For the record I have never voted for Nad's party and those who know me, know I never will. But I still can't understand why every time Mid Beds as a constituency is in the news usually Nad is waxing indignant about being held to account for something. Or other.

When she was investigated for a breach of Parliamentary rules she accused the Commissioner for Standards of conducting a “witch hunt” against her and threatened to sue.
But today the House of Commons Standards Committee threw out her defence and concluded she had breached the MPs code of conduct through her “attitude to the Commissioner's inquiries”.
It ordered her to make a formal apology for behaviour to MPs and said she must publish the fees she received from ‘I’m a Celebrity’ and eight other media appearances in full.
