Great news! The vote called last week by the government to exclude MPs’ expenses from falling into the Freedom of Information act, which was to take place tomorrow, has been cancelled.
This superb news almost certainly follows the vast amount of emails that MPs have been receiving, the Tweets and the Facebook group. All inside 48 hours.
Much kudos must go to everyone at MySociety who were able to turn this whole process around in 48 hours.
I even got a response from my MP’s researcher acknowledging my email and promising to get back in contact.
Seriously – MPs care about their constituents, especially as we approach a general election.
