Paul Flynn Loses Allowance Over Rude Blog

Paul Flynn’s blog has occasional gems, such as describing Peter Hain as a “shape shifter”. The parliamentary authorities have withdrawn his allowance because it is partisan. Given that if blogs are boring and non-partisan no one reads them, isn’t it a given that they should not be funded by the taxpayers? John Redwood pays for his out of his own pocket. So should the rest of the troughing politicians.

“Scotland’s biggest Labour donor is in receipt of millions of pounds of Labour-controlled government funds. It’s back to the old Labour days: it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”
