From reports it sounds like some MPs are unhappy with the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, which was formed after the expenses scandal.
The article talks about how MPs found it time consuming and "too bureaucratic". Though the article highlights the abuse volunteer staff received from some politicians, since a document of complaints were released.
The article also goes into details about an incident between Denis MacShane and a young volunteer, which ended in the volunteer in tears and MacShane apologising with a box of chocolates.
"In another recorded incident, trainers and all IPSA staff were referred to as "monkey" by one female MP.
One MP is said to have grabbed a trainer's name badge, while another reportedly declared: "I am going to murder someone today."-BBC
