Yes she should go and I am not one for shouting resign, resign, resign.

But she has an integrity & creditibility issue that she can not recover from.

I agree that if a pleb had been found fiddling their benefits 30 seconds of saying they were sorry wouldn't cut the mustard and so she should go.

It's ok letting the voters decide, but in many constituencies as long as they are wearing the right colour rosette they will be returned.

Where I live, it is solid Labour and their candidate could probably be suspected of bumping a few people off, employing slave labour and throwing eggs at people and still get in.

Yes, Cameron needs to grow a set and sack her..

her obstruction of the Committee's investigation smacks of arrogance and whilst not a dismissal offence in itself her apology to the 'House' was clearly a 'fuck you' this is all your begrudgingly having..

she has no credibility so should go..

Of course she should, looking at her level of education and where she had worked, she is no idiot and knew what she was doing was wrong

The govt shouldn't be able to sit in judgement on their fellow members either, as it stinks of the backscratching favour for a favour cronyism which you get in banana republics.

If Joe public fraudulently claims social security and gets found out later they get prosecuted for obtaining money by deception, not told to pay back 10% of what they stole, the same should apply to MP`s who after all are well paid and not exactly stupid are they?

Her only stupid act was to believe she could have got away with it.

"sack her and send the police round "

That's the thing that is probably not going to happen. She has accepted the Parliamentary castigation of apologising to the House.

So far she has lost credibility and £5k it's a pretty good compromise on almost getting away with it.

No.

But only so that she can be a constant reminder of how the rules have been rewritten and are now totally in favour of those that already have. Not only did she claim a massive amount of expenses on a property 15 minutes nearer to the House of Commons than her main residence, she made £1.2 MILLION profit on a house WE paid for. We are being taken for mugs by these people. ... and not enough seem bothered by it.

She should be prosecuted as anyone claiming fraudulently would be and she should have to pay the lot back.

Yes, she should resign. But even if she does she'll be offered a cushy little number elsewhere.

She should be sacked and lose all pension etc too. She is laughing all the way to the bank, having potted over £2 million, thanks to the tax payer. She should have been inter_iewed by ATOS and found unfit for anything but declined further benefits. They had a big increase in salary for reduced expenses - she thought she could have both and then bully investigators who were more than fair and reasonable. She is a disgrace and any of us would now be serving time for much less than she has taken from others.

Definitely should go. There are no excuses for a supposedly educated intelligent person to get away with this.

This is one of the problems - she has broken a rule and it's never clear with MPs whether it is deemed as breaking the law.

I want all those that have defrauded the benefits system to be allowed to make a 30 second video apologising to be shown on a cable television channel and we'll leave it at that.

I don't think the left want her.

This one irks me more than the others as she appears to be being treated differently. Others have had their expense fiddling investigated as a crime and have done time. Why is Maria Miller exempt from a criminal investigation because she said she made a mistake?

It also comes after all of the changes to address the expenses scandal and after a hefty pay rise.

Off with her hands that's what I say

Seriously though, she needs to go.

If DC had any sense, he'd get rid of her publically - and her oaf of a secretary for blaming the media for the 'scandal'

By that token every MP you have never heard of could do anything and you would be ok about it.

She's Culture Secretary and makes decisions to spend tax money. As her department gets funding cuts that have resulted in redundancies and projects losing funding I find it more than a little distasteful that she fraudulently claimed enough to keep someone in their post for another year and made enough money on the sale of the property to fund a regional theatre.

It is not just the massive amount of money she has personally gained from her expenses - over 2 million quid - it is that she tried to do everything to get away with it, once investigations began. Either Cameron knows they are not going to win the election or does not care. Either way, it proves that they do not understand the common man and woman - they just dont get us. They think this is acceptable. Think again.

What is so bizarre about all this is that the furore over the whole expenses scandal has barely died down. They are simply laughing at us, it's totally unacceptable but it shows her and Cameron for what they are and hopefully the electorate will reward them appropriately.

i dont get calling for heads for people just doing what we all do every day

leaving the wife

extra marital affairs

traffic violations, and so on.

makes me laugh when people say they want their MPs to be in touch with the 'common people' yet in the next breath, they have to be whiter than white and never do anything wrong.

well, they are human beings.

but, corruption and theft are a step too far, so the decision should be taken out of her hands, but it wont because they are all as corrupt as each other

Of course she should go! If she was claiming housing benefit and had 'made a mistake' and had over-claimed £46ooo+ she would now be facing prosecution, prison and be made to repay the lot. However because she is an MP and government minister she gets to keep most of her ill-gotten gains and her job if she can tough it out!

But dont forget, call me dave keeps reminding us "we're all in it together"... Guess he means the tory snouts in the trough!

Seem to remember that they were all forced to pay back all the money they stole and that the worst offenders were prosecuted and 5 went to prison...

Guess its different rules when the Tories are in power and and its one of theirs that has been found stealing from the public purse!

Ah. You mean like Alistair Darling who did more flips than a pinball machine, and Jackboot Jackie and her sisters spare room, and wasn't it her (or it could have been Harman) that famously claimed for porno movies on expenses. Didn't see either of them on Crime Watch.

So don't give me the one rule for the Tories bullshit the Labour shit are just as bad if not worse.

When I was on benefits a couple of years ago the chances of a mistake in claiming netting me 46p were pretty slim let alone the chances of trousering 46k so I humbly submit possibly not a very valid comparison particularly at a time when "benefits cheats" are being threatened with the full weight of the law!

Actually the DHSS have a policy of immediately imposing benefits caps where there is a possible reason to do so and prosecuting ALL cases of benefits fraud.
