Profile of Jonathan Djanogly - Conservative Party parliamentary candidate

The current Member of Parliament for Huntingdon. He was first elected in 2001 taking over from John Major. Djanogly was re-elected in 2005. He is currently Shadow Minister for Corporate Governance and Solicitor General. His Parliamentary career is linked here. Until recently Djanogly was a partner in the law firm SJ Berwin LLP. He was also a member of the family firm at Lloyds. Until recently he was also a director of his wife's firm Canalside Studio Management Ltd.
Whilst being an MP, Djanogly carried on with his profession as a solicitor (just shows how much a part-time job being an MP really is!) representing major firms in takeovers. I have no doubt that our MP and his team of office staff, interns and seconded solicitors do a good job for the Huntingdon constituency and for Cambridgeshire.

Djanogly could have carried on with all this except MPs' expenses were finally published and our MP was thrust into the daylight by the Daily Telegraph. Articles such as:

MPs' expenses: Tory MP Jonathan Djanogly claimed almost £5,000 for automatic gates
Jonathan Djanogly defends his expense claims to party supporters
MPs' expenses published: Jonathan Djanogly
Tory MP Jonathan Djanogly denies claiming expenses for au pair

ConservativeHome on Djanogly and Peter Brown resigning
A quote from ConservativeHome: "The meeting on Thursday is not a public meeting, as David Cameron has suggested to MPs, but instead is open only to party members and has been described by Mr Djanogly's local paper as a "clear the air" session."

put Djanogly and his expenses/lifestyle into the public domain.

To me this expenses scandal changed my view of Jonathan Djanogly. If he had been able to face his constituents, as suggested by his Leader David Cameron, I would have had respect for Djanogly. I would have given him a second chance. But he didn't. So I'm not.
