What has your local MP done for YOU?
It's easy to be cynical about MPs but they haven't exactly covered themselves in glory , what with claiming for their bathplugs and hubby's adult entertainment!
Now, we had an MP-bashing session on Friday's programme, so this morning we wondered whether there was a more positive story to tell about our elected representatives. I'll admit, I wondered whether it was going to be a slow hour, but in the end we had plenty of people coming on to praise their MP — and some of them weren't even close relations!
So what has your local MP done for you? Beth in Shetland told us that she calls her MP, Alasdair Carmichael, "the little bulldog"! Apparently that was a compliment. Lillias in Edinburgh emailed to say that her man at Westminster has give her a great giggle during these dark times. His name is Nigel Griffiths. I have no idea what . And Tom in Alness said his MP even helped him appeal against his failed driving test. Now, that's service for you!
So has your MP ever helped you? Or do you take the view that they're all out for themselves?
