Astounding revelations today from the News of the World that Rochester & Strood MP, Mark Reckless was skiing on a Parliamentary Ski trip whilst also campaigning on the South Eastern fair rises which have increased by 9% in Medway. Mark Reckless MP accompanied other MPs including Prisons Minister, Quentin Blunt and Tory, Tim Loughton in an exclusive Parliamentary Ski Group trip to Switzerland. This group hired out an exclusive venue on the Davos slopes and dined and 'frolicked' in the £1,100-a-night Hotel Fluela for over 5 days.
Despite Mark being an avid Eurosceptic he was seemingly happy to sing German songs and socialise with our European partners in close quarters.
The skiing trip started last Sunday and ended on Friday apparently showed that Mark was not in the towns whilst apparently tweeting on fare rises.

The vacation came during the same week that he was able to articulate the views of hard-pressed commuters on the 4th January on twitter accusing South Eastern trains of being not 'fit for purpose.'
The Medway Conservatives are now open to the charge of being tasteless given the cuts agenda which is being foisted upon the public.
It raises serious questions about how much interaction Mark actually had with commuters at the time, given he was singing 'Ziggy Zaggy, Hoi Hoi Hoi' on the slopes of Switzerland.
Mark has been office less then a year but it now becoming very apparent that he has taken to the good life rather too much.
This blog is not suggesting that MPs are not entitled to a break, but given the sensitivites of huge increase in costs to residents across Medway, it could be considered tasteless for our representative to be living the high-life with fellow chums in Switzerland.

Update - 11/01/2011
This blog has been in contact with the MPs office who has clarified that Mark was actually in the UK whilst posting on the Train Fares and that he flew out to Davos at a later point.
I was not aware of this significant point, as was not disclosed in the News of the World Pirce, which has led me to change the above article to try and be fair to this point. Due to the legacy and damage of web-based blogs I have totally removed any area which could be considered unfair.
The News of the World article also did not disclose that the room prices were the maximum at the venue and may not indeed have the been the cost of the room that was paid by the MP.
In the interests of fairness this blog is happy to clarify this position. This change has been made in good faith.
All that remains to be said is that you should never trust the Murdoch Press and should treat articles from a such papers with a pinch of salt.
