The Elliot Morley expenses story, which I have covered from the beginning, continues to rumble on. The Scunthorpe MP was charged with multiple counts of false accounting, which he denies, and I reported the story in depth. Later, Mr Morley made extraordinary comments to me about the suspension of his ‘golden goodbye’ went against the rules of “natural justice”. This story went national and was picked up by the Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, The Independent and others.
Meanwhile, the campaign is up and running in Scunthorpe. We’ve had some fun with Ladbrokes seat-by-seat odds while waiting for the election to be called. I’ve lots of ideas for covering my first campaign as a professional journalist and plenty of them will appear here in the next few months.
