Vale of York MP Anne McIntosh was reported as accusing Labour politicians of hypocrisy over children and holidays.
She was reported as saying that MPs were role models. What a role model she makes! She sought and accepted a contract with the people of Essex to represent them in the European Parliament even though she knew that a British general election would be held before that contract expired.
She then accepted the nomination to be a Yorkshire MP and so now does both jobs, both on a part time basis for full time salaries.
With her eye to the main chance and lack of integrity she is hardly in a position to call anyone a hypocrite.
