So it is not just the Tories you can't trust.
Former MP Margaret Moran has been sentenced to a two-year supervision and treatment order after falsely claiming more than £53,000 in expenses.
A judge had ruled the ex-Labour MP for Luton South was unfit to stand trial for mental health reasons and so could not receive a criminal conviction.
The jury heard the case at Southwark Crown Court in November in her absence.
It found her guilty of 15 counts of false accounting and six other charges relating to forged invoices.
Moran, who lives in St Denys, Southampton, served in the Commons between 1997 and 2010.
