How on earth can someone like her be respected.

I could list every MP from here to Glasgow that's had an expenses related issue, are they all arse holes?
In that case as it was a tv appearance and not a gift, trip or speech I would say it was an oversight, but as it's Diane Abbot it will of course be made out to be something other. :/
