For those of us who thought that Nick de Bois had been a fantastic MP and servant for Enfield North, the re-election of Joan Ryan was a disappointment, but of course democratic choice must be respected.
There are many people in Enfield who are still upset at Ms Ryan’s record during her previous stint as our MP, especially given her involvement in the expenses scandal and subsequent refusal to apologise. Many will find it difficult, if not impossible, to trust her this time around.
During his time as our MP, Mr de Bois kept a promise to publish his expenses claims online each month, giving increased accountability to his work. My challenge to Ms Ryan following her re-election is simple. Will you make the same commitment, and also publish your expenses claims online each month?
