Public fury over MPs expenses boils over during TV's Question Time as Margaret Beckett is jeered and heckled

Public anger over MPs expenses boiled over yesterday as senior MPs - including Margaret Beckett - were booed and jeered on the BBC's flagship current affairs programme Question Time.

In extraordinary scenes, the audience turned on Mrs Beckett after she tried to claim £600 for hanging baskets and pot plants.

The former Foreign Secretary was virtually drowned out by angry shouts of 'scandal' and 'are you better than us?' after said she refused to pay back a penny of her expenses to the taxpayer.

In a sign of the mounting disgust, Question Time yesterday recorded its highest viewing figures since the programme went on the airwaves more than 30 years ago.

£600 on pot plants as an expense.

watched Question time on iplayer. The politicians on the panel just don't get it. Dissolve parliament and force a general election. but the dishonourable politicians cannot run as a candidate and suspended from doing so for a full term. (five years).

The Entire house is a steaming pile of ****.

Yup, watched it last night, never seen so many squirming polititians in one room. It was bloody brilliant. But you're right steve, they just don't get it. Talk about living in a bubble.
