Is this bribery?

The Mail reports that:

"Gordon Brown is offering MPs a bribe of up to £5,000 to back his failing bid to reform their expenses.

The Prime Minister has decided to junk his plan to let MPs pocket up to £25,000 a year simply for turning up to work and has instead come up with a last ditch alternative.

But Mr Brown and his senior aides are so short of support - even in their own party - that they are trying to win votes for the compromise proposals by promising MPs a large cash bung to co-operate.

MPs worried that they will be out of pocket over the summer recess before the new system comes into force have been told that they could get an 'interim payment' to tide them over.

They say Commons leader Harriet Harman has been twisting the arms of Labour members by promising them a one-off sum of between £2,000 and £5,000. "

Gordon Brown and Harriet Harman must go and go soon. Have you signed this petition yet?
