Author: Burnley MP Kitty Ussher was recently interviewed by Channel 4 News for a piece about the MPs expenses scandal.
She was asked. “Is there anything you did that you feel you ought to say sorry for? The choices you made? The decisions you made?”
Kitty’s answer? “No. Because I haven’t done anything that anybody else in my position wouldn’t be perfectly able and valid to do.”
The exchange comes about 8 mins and 15 seconds into this report.
Shortly after her resignation, Labour’s replacement candidate Julie Cooper said Kitty was “a rising star and would have taken Burnley with her.”
Kitty has returned the favour. Her website says, “Kitty isn’t standing at the next general election and hopes you will support Labour’s candidate, local Councillor Julie Cooper instead.”
