Jacqui Smith as voted for in our poll of most shameless MPs in the MPs' expenses row.

Constituency: Redditch
Party: Labour
Poll percentage: 4%
Poll position: 4

Summary from Telegraph Coverage:

"... there was incredulity at Westminster that the Home Secretary had designated her sister's second bedroom in Peckham as her principal home while saying the imposing five-bedroom house in her constituency – where her husband Richard and two sons live – was her second home. It meant that the minister in charge of law and order could, under the rules, claim £116,000 to furnish her family home in the most prosperous neighbourhood of her Worcestershire constituency... Jacqui Smith claimed the costs of accountancy advice using expenses intended to fund their parliamentary and constituency offices. Bought expensive gadgets including an iPhone for her husband."
