MP Siobhain McDonagh continues to keep postmen busy but it is not her letter writing which has provoked a reaction this time but mailings of her very own calendar.
While Siobhain deflected criticism over her expenses by claiming she was the country's hardest working MP, the calendar is perhaps an attempt to become the most personable.
Siobhain's researcher and councillor Mark Allison said: "All MPs are entitled to do annual reports and most come out of parliamentary office expenditure but this time we thought we wanted to do something out of money raised by Mitcham and Morden constituency Labour party and its hundreds of local members.

Ms McDonagh last year claimed to be one of the "hardest working" MP's in Government after running up the largest postage and stationary expenditure keeping in touch with constituents.
Siobhain, a lifelong resident who sees herself as "the servant of Mitcham and Morden", fought and lost the seat in 1987 and 1992, before claiming victory in 1997.
Siobhain, whose sister Margaret was the first female general secretary of the Labour Party, has campaigned locally to re-open the Wilson Hospital and been instrumental in the decision to apply for academy status for two Mitcham schools, in an effort to improve education.

Mitcham and Morden MP Siobhain McDonagh conducted a survey of 1,500 constituents earlier this year which showed residents’ overwhelming support for action against “enviro-crime” and disorderly young people.
Ms McDonagh is calling on the Government to go further than the Anti-Social Behaviour Bill currently going through Parliament, which makes it easier for councils and police forces to obtain anti-social behaviour orders which can impose curfews and can evict people who persistently harass others.
Ms McDonagh has drawn up a six-point plan which calls for police to have more powers to move on groups of youths, more activities to occupy young people and for businesses to dispose of waste responsibly.

Both Tom Cox and Siobhain McDonagh are Labour MP's with seats in the suburbs of south-west London.
In the submission from Ms McDonagh, who won the seat of Mitcham and Morden in 1997 at the third attempt, the most striking figure relates to the £31,845 she spent on postage last year - a Commons record.
A second feature of Ms McDonagh's submission was the relatively low amount she claimed for travel; just £1,849.

The article by Siobhain McDonagh (Citizen, Spring 1999) convinced me that 30 years of paying my subscription to the Labour Party is coming to an immediate and final end.
Does Siobhain McDonagh live on a different planet (Citizen, Spring 1999) or does she just choose to ignore the obvious and stick her head firmly in the sand?
I and many other ex-Labour Party members chose to divorce ourselves from a party we had probably supported all our voting lives because we could see the way the party's voice was being strangled by spin doctors and a blind adherence to dogma.

The British Medical Association said a proposal by parliamentarian Siobhain McDonagh (Labour, Mitcham and Morden) would increase the number of donors and improve the current shortage of organs for transplantation.
It was introduced as a Ten Minute Rule Bill, which are often used by members of parliament as a way to make a point on the need for a change to the law, and to stimulate debate, rather than necessarily a serious attempt at making legislation.
Studies show that around 90 percent of the population would be willing to donate organs after their death, the BMA said, but only 19 percent of the population are on the NHS Organ Donor Register.

A new law that would allow doctors to assume organ donor consent is to be put before parliament by Mitcham and Morden MP Siobhain McDonagh.
Ms McDonagh has tabled the bill to completely overhaul the transplant system, which will be heard in the House of Commons next week.
Instead of the current procedure, where prospective organ donors must carry a card or ensure relatives are aware of their wishes, the new law will allow doctors to assume it is possible to use a patient's organs in transplants, unless they have specifically requested otherwise.

Siobhain Ann McDonagh (born 20 February 1960) is a politician in the United Kingdom, and Labour member of Parliament for Mitcham and Morden in London.
The most noteworthy feature of Siobhain's political record is her unswerving loyalty to Tony Blair's Labour Party.
Despite some extremely controversial votes which saw large numbers of Labour MPs rebel against the government, such as foundation hospitals, university tuition fees, and the war in Iraq, Siobhain has almost without exception stuck rigidly to the party line (Siobhain McDonagh's voting record at 'The Public Whip').

Ms McDonagh said her pleas for local representation on trust boards were snubbed in the last round of appointments.
The MP believes the two NHS trusts which serve her constituency are both guilty of bias over their refusal to allow people living in the area to sit on their boards.
Ms McDonagh is so incensed she is to raise the issue with Health Secretary John Reid, asking him to investigate the appointments system.

At a time when there are question marks over the future of local hospital services, it is hardly surprising local MPs will be staunch defenders of their local services.
But her claim that the proposals for a new single site hospital to serve the whole area are Conservative ones is rather disingenuous, to say the least.

Ms McDonagh tried to introduce the legislation, which would mean councils could force utility and telecom companies to pay for graffiti removal, in a private member's bill in May but it ran out of parliamentary time.
She said: "The pilots will give us the opportunity to evaluate the impact of the new rules, and I am glad that local streets will be among the first to benefit.
Ms McDonagh said: "Beating graffiti is a big job, but rules to force companies to keep property clean, along with new laws that will ban the sale of spray paints to young people and initiatives like name that tag', show we are determined to take action.

I was shocked to read Merton Council, urged on by our MP Siobhain McDonagh, has agreed to hand over two of our local secondary schools to a carpet millionaire.
Some 10 years ago when Siobhain McDonagh was a local councillor, and before she became an MP, she campaigned strongly, together with the local Labour council, to urge parents to vote against any proposal by local school governing bodies to opt out of Merton Council control.
I urge the parents and staff at the two schools concerned to follow the example of those in Doncaster schools where their protests have resulted in the scheme being overturned.
