Tory MP gets knuckles rapped over 'illicit image'

Scrapbook fans may have noticed that Socialist Animal is something of a stickler for parliamentary rules, and as such couldn’t let this one pass by.

Newly elected MP for Gloucester Richard Graham has received his first ticking-off from the Sargent at Arms over an inappropriate image. However those of you who were hoping for a Nigel Griffiths style dirty pic will be disappointed to learn that Graham’s  offence was altogether more tame.

It would seem another newly elected MP (whom Graham refuses to name) chose to document their induction day, and took a photograph inside the commons which is strictly forbidden under parliamentary rules. Graham then had the brass neck to send the picture off to his local paper.

Has the man no decency?!
