The country is enraged over the recent scandal of MP's expenses disclosed by the Telegraph. After the public apology done by Tory's leader David Cameron, PM Gordon followed by conceding that it was not only the system's fault but the Government and other opposition parties must share the raps as well. The Labour party leader apologized to the public on behalf of all the politicians and parties during his speech to the Royal College of Nursing in Harrogate today. His spokesman's said that he (PM) was satisfied with all the explanations done by his Labour ministers who "milked the system" and would therefore not take any actions against them. After the PM speech, followed the speech of David Cameron. His colleagues in the Conservative Party's shadow cabinet, Michael Gove (13000 pounds in moving costs), Andrew Lansley (4,000 pounds for house renovation) , David Willets (115 pounds for changing 25 light bulbs in his second house) and Oliver Letwin (2,000 pounds for a replacement of leaking pipe under his tennis court), to name a few, are under investigation for paying their expenses for their second homes with the tax-payers money. Cameron insisted that an acknowledgment from politicians that this had happened and that they were sorry was needed to gain the public confidence back. He also expressed that " it is not just morally desirable but politically essential that our representatives set a good example." Cameron and the PM are both calling for the "cleaning up" of the system. Meanwhile, some warned and were alarmed about the suggestions on the disclosure of MP's receipt to a private auditing firm under the Freedom of Information Act. But PM Gordon's spokesman's dispelled it by saying "there should be a tougher auditing but not at the expense of transparency."

Reaction
The Telegraph is commendable for exposing the MP's in their dubious schemes for claiming expenses. They are exploiting the parliamentary allowances system to support their own lifestyle and second homes. This is outrageous. I am agitated. These MP's should step down from their offices. Instead of providing services they promised to the people during the elections, they are spending people's money for their own luxurious affairs. These kinds of politicians should never be elected again. They are using government positions to have a wealthy life while many people they promised to serve are poor. I am disturbed by the statement of PM Gordon that there would be no action to be taken against his Labour Party ministers who may have "milked the system". Is he serious? Will he allow his party mates to get away with it? As if it is just the most normal thing to do in the world? There must be a collective action to oust these corrupt politicians. There must be something to be done to teach them a lesson. I am hoping that the British people would unite and form a movement calling for a political change and genuine social reforms.
