MP’s first homes are as much a cause for concern as their second homes. When Ted Fletcher was MP for Darlington he lived in Neville Road; Michael Fallon lived in Victoria Embankment; Ossie O’Brien lived in Hummersknott. Where does our present MP, Alan Milburn, live?
Somewhere expensively peaceful miles away in Northumberland. It isn’t only the money that’s a scandal.
John Ripley, Darlington.
