The shamelessness of our current (though still absent) MP, Margaret Moran continues.

She is currently fighting a race discrimination case over three staff she sacked last year - around the height of the expenses scandal.  She has time and energy to make statements and fight a court case, but not to find time for her constituent's apparently.

She was never the most visible or responsive of MPs but the absence of her staff probably helps explain why so many people have struggled to get any response or help form her office for so long.  Meanwhile, the one person in her parliamentary office who was endeavouring to hold the fort in Ms Moran's absence has - unsurprisingly - left for another job. 

Not having an MP or a working office for nearly a year is disgraceful.  That the Luton Labour party and even the new Labour candidate for Luton South fail to criticise Moran for this is outrageous.  She should have resigned 8 months ago and let someone else do the job properly rather than consciously desert her constituents while being happy to take the salary and accrue the pension rights while waiting to pocket the £30K plus resettlement grant.  Ms Moran may have forgotten about Luton but we have not fogotten or forgiven her.
