Intriguing...
"Dear all,
The Daily Mail requires six people to work for them from Thursday 18th June through to Monday 22nd June. They need them to pore over the MPs Expenses which are being released sometime on the 18th/19th June. You will be paid and it should be possible to work from home. If you would like to share out the work of one person and do it as part of a group, this should also be fine.
If any of you would like to be considered or have any further questions, please contact blah blah blah"
Having been done over by The Telegraph for the last month you can put money on the Mail praying there is still some juice for their little room of helpers to find. Interesting they went through the
ASI
as well. There must be a hundreds of desperate hacks finishing various journo courses right now who would kill for a break on a national paper.Not long till the second wave of expenses scandals...
UPDATE 1am: A commenter makes a very good point:
"This might have something to do with an article in the Daily Mail (pre-Telegraph revelations) which suggested that unredacted MPs expenses would show that a number of MPs were having affairs (i.e. claiming for the same hotel room). Just a thought."

Quality. Almost worth buying the Daily Mail for. Almost.
I've never bought the Mail,although being a person over 60 my memory is not reliable. Good for them I say!
One reason not to agree to write for the Mail:

Flogging. Dead. Horse.
It's bad enough the Telegraph replace any meaningful or more interesting content with yet more shock revelations to confirm that which we knew on the first day the story broke, but really, is there any juice in jumping on the bandwagon 3 or 4 weeks in?
