A LEITH newsagent has put a cheeky sign in the window aimed at expenses-fiddling MPs.
Bishop Newsagents, on the corner of Constitution Street and Bernard Street, has put up the tongue-in-cheek sign saying Only Two MPs Allowed In Here At Any One Time.

The sign is a play on the classic corner shop warning to schoolchildren to prevent gangs of unsupervised children overrunning the store to shoplift.

A store spokesman said: "One of the staff brought the sign in as a joke."
