The atmosphere at Westminster has become so "unbearable" due to expenses revelations that a suicide is feared, one MP has warned.

Tory Nadine Dorries has said the way the expenses were being revealed in the Daily Telegraph was like a "form of torture".

Meanwhile Labour MP Ian Gibson has been referred to a panel which could remove his right to stand as a Labour candidate following reports about his expenses.

The Daily Telegraph says Mr Gibson claimed for a flat which his daughter and her partner lived in rent-free.
