Fallon resigns.

Obviously more to it than a knee grope then!
He could have ridden that out, but was advised to jump.

Would that mean he doesn't have to answer more questions and counter further accusations?

Or does he leave government so as to protect government and separate government from damage?
If so, does it work?

Between 2002 and 2004, Fallon regularly claimed £1,255 per month in capital repayments and interest, rather than the £700-£800 for the interest component alone. After his error was noticed by staff at the Commons Fees Office in September 2004, he asked: "Why has no one brought this to my attention before?"  He repaid £2,200 of this over-claim, but was allowed to offset the remaining £6,100 against his allowance. After realising they had failed to notice the excessive claims, Commons staff reportedly suggested Fallon submit fresh claims which would "reassign" the surplus payments to other costs he had legitimately incurred.

He was banned from driving for 18 months in 1983 after admitting a drunk driving offence during the general election campaign



none of that worthy of not being a cabinet minister.......

Not sure the first paragraph would exclude him Donny.
Nearly every MP has fallen foul of 'expense rules' at one time or another.
He was open in his claims which were accepted then rejected.
He had claimed for something he wasn't entitled to and not claimed when he could have on other items.

they have akabula does that make them fit for cabinet office?

imo ...no


if you think because they are all at it then thats ok then fair enough

I liked Fallon, always came across as calm and reasoned in debates.

he can still take part in debates, but can enter late now

err no cos i've already had a go at all the expenses fiddlers, not just the tories

you do come up with simple and incorrect stuff like that quite often

I think you've missed the point of my post Donny. Yet again.

"Obviously more to it than a knee grope then!
He could have ridden that out, but was advised to jump."

Reckon his mates in the press told him what they are about to print...... of course he didn't resign for touching a woman's knee 15 years ago !

theres a dossier on twitter that tells you what the whips had on him ....

not hard to find

No I'll leave it that Donny.
As me old grandpa used to say You can't educate potted meat.
I tried with you but will concede defeat. Have a nice night.

I liked Fallon, always came across as calm and reasoned in debates.

Yes, calmed and reasoned as he stood on the Russian border saying the Britain would quite happily launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike.

Tories tottering. Ababula schooled.

Sounds like he can't control his pecker when in drink.

They have either got their hands in the till or down a womans knickers. These are the people who try to tell us how to live our live's.

Kinda feel sorry for the fella.. Getting sacked and having his palm being sexually molested by Julia Hartley-Brewer's knee.


All in a space of 15 years

clacton - that's very homophobic of you. Many MPs won't get near a woman..

TBF he said when resigning that he couldn't give a guarantee that nothing else would come out about him.

I doubt the Tory party would go for a GE at this time.
