Sunday Sleaze

Sunday SleazeThe Sunday Mirror has been digging all week into the Shadow Cabinet trying to find someone on the Tory frontbench “doing a Jacqui”. To do that they would need to find someone claiming a lodging as their main home. If they have found a Tory frontbencher “doing a Jacqui” they deserve everything they get. Guido is willing to bet they have found them almost all claiming the mortgage subsidy. The question is have any of them done a scam as brazen as Jacqui’s fiddle?

UPDATE : Rumour is that Chris Grayling has claimed over £100,000 in expenses over 7 years for an ex-council flat in Victoria costing just over £100,000. It might be within the rules, but it don’t smell good…

Max Clifford says…

“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
