FORMER MP Jim Devine was branded a liar by a judge as he was jailed for 16 months for fiddling his expenses.

Devine submitted false invoices totalling £8385 between 2008 and 2009 – “carrying on regardless” even after other politicians’ claims had become “front-page news”.

Bankrupt Devine became the third MP to be jailed in the wake of the expenses scandal when he was sentenced yesterday at the Old Bailey.


Most excellent! eveilgrin:

The papers reckon he'll be out by Christmas BUT they also disclose he has been declared bankrupt and still has debts to his former employee that bankruptcy will not wipe out. He's finished.

Still better than letting him get away with it tho' and a sentence of that length, even with the mahoosive time off for good behaviour we know he will get, means he can never stand for Parliament again.
