MAIL ONLINE: The Commons expenses scandal has been blamed for an apparent suicide attempt by Tory MP David Ruffley, who threw himself under a train.
Former Shadow Police Minister Mr Ruffley, 48, jumped in front of an express train at London’s Victoria station during the evening rush-hour on Thursday.
The MP for Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk survived after the train passed right over him and he missed the live rail.
Mr Ruffley, one of the most popular MPs at Westminster, was among those who came under heavy criticism over his Commons expenses. >>> Simon Walters | Saturday, June 19, 2010
