Derek Conway, who is facing another investigation into his expenses, is being targeted by a "witch-hunt", a fellow Conservative MP claims.

Of course, if I -as a mere mortal - misused public funds in such a manner, I might be happy to get off with a rap over the knuckles, repaying a small proportion of the funds allegedly misused and being given a ten day holiday. (Fat chance, you may say.) But you cannot expect MPs, even serial offenders, to be subject to the same penalties as the rest of us. For they are all honourable men.
