Doris Clegg, a North East Somerset constituent, told NewsBiscuit that she’d cancelled her weekend holiday in Bognor and would be spending the money on a ticket to watch the smug smile drain from her MP’s face instead. “I don’t know yet how much the tickets will be going for”, she said, “but if the holiday money doesn’t cover it, I'll cancel my bingo club subscription as well.”
