| Description | Barnsley Central MP Eric Illsley has resigned, two days before he is due to be sentenced for dishonestly claiming parliamentary expenses.
The MP had come under pressure to step down after admitting £14,000 of expenses fraud last month.
Illsley had earlier said he "deeply regretted" his actions and would resign before his sentencing, which is due at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday.
