The PLP has sent an email to Labour MPs offering “practical support” on today’s full publication of their expenses. Anne Snelgrove is offering her own brand of expert “well-being” counsel to any colleagues concerned at their finances passing into the public domain. Removal men have not been seen lugging leather armchairs or chaise lounges into her new therapy office. Yet.
Tough life, innit…?!
