Under pressure, Kerry threatens to call in lawyers

It appears that Kerry McCarthy is feeling the pressure from a growing online campaign to oust her for Parliament, a campaign that has not even being officially launched as yet.

Following the publication of a story earlier this evening about tomorrow’s launch of the #KerryOut campaign I got a friendly Twitter Direct Message from Kerry saying that, if I did not remove a reference to her in which I say she is a “disgraced MP” she would sent in the lawyers:

I stand by me earlier comment, after all this is the MP who repaid £402 after claiming for two beds on her parliamentary expenses, even though she has a one bedroom flat. This is not a complete surprise as in 2008 she was one of the Labour MPs who voted in favour of keeping the additional costs allowance, worth £24,000 a year.

This is just one example of how she has called the House of Commons into disrepute through her actions.
