MP’s Expenses Scans Update :£10,000 Reward Offered for the Truth

They are being hawked around again. The Sun (as well as The Times) has been offered the disks, but are worried about handling “stolen” goods. Sources at the Mail on Sunday and News of the World say that have not been offered the scans and would in any case have to consider legal obstacles.  So much for a fearless free press.

After the last story a number of co-conspirators contacted Guido suggesting we have a whip round.  If you want to pledge support in the comments, feel free.

To the person who has the disks, what you have is of great public interest, what you have done is heroic, Guido and his co-conspirators will pay £10,000 cash in gratitude for the disks – today – no questions asked.  Call 0709 284 0531.

        If these disks actually exist paypal is a good idea, I will want to look at each and every single MP’s claims line by line. However,I think it is just another political scam to deflect attention from the nitty gritty of McNulty and Smith who currently seem to be in hiding. Possibly better to get the software ready to compare totals of receipts against the already listed totals paid. Will redacted items be visible as redacted items or completely deleted from receipts – are FOI requests going to be needed to find out how many receipts each of them have redacted and for what value.

    Are you sure these disks actually exist? Why haven’t they been offered to MoS or the the Screws? Why are Murdoch journos, famous for reproducing government spin, saying they have been offered them? Why is a story of a mole hunt replacing the real story of corruptions by MPs?

        If various Tories have second jobs then those at least are not being funded by the taxpayer. The reason there are no ZaNuLaber’s on second jobs is the hoons are completely unfit for their primary jobs let alone being let loose in the real world.

        As for sponsorship of Tory offices, again it is private and not taxpayer money involved you fucking stupid hoon.

      Tax payer swindles. Are these Tory MP’s second jobs, or any politician’s second jobs, or anybody having more than one job? Additionally, what about charity work as a second job?

      Jabba,
      Obviously you are easily confused.
      The point oh most feeble brain is Guido’s silence on the matter of MP’s second jobs.
      When people are hired in as you put it ‘the real world’, paid a salary and provided with further allowances it is frequently a term of employment that they do not work for some other organisation. Perhaps you have no experience of ‘the real world’. In the case of MP’s the electorate is the employer and is entitled to expect that the employee in this case the MP works not part time but full time and does not work for an other employer at the same time.
      Perhaps like many Conservative spivs, cheats and chancers you laud people who manage to get money for nothing.

        The situation in 2009 is that we have utilities and railways owned by French state owned companies. We have other utilities owned by insolvent hedge/private equity funds that are in hock to and dependant on state controlled banks.

        Now to your substantive point about interest rates. Rates were indeed higher in the past. That isn’t good now. Because our rates are too low now savers (eg pensioners) are being penalised, and inflation will be rampant in a few years time.

        It’s all very well to talk about a manufacturing base, but you still have to have people willing to buy the stuff you make, both domestically and abroad. Given that the average Chinese factory worker earns about 40 pence per hour, how could we ever possibly compete with that?
        Where possible, I always buy stuff made in the UK, Ireland, or the eurozone, in that order.
        My shirts cost an average of £70 each, Primark sell Chinese/Indian made shirts for 4.99.
        I would be the first person to cheer a revival of British manufacturing and heavy industry, but it’s only one part of the chain, and the competition is absolutely cut-throat.

    How typical that the messenger is being hunted and not the perpetrators.

    Guido,

    Off topic. I feel that your site would have even more credence were you to tackle ‘positive’ stories such as rallies in markets owing to G20 and the recent upturn in house prices. What do these things mean in the present context ? (I have my own view) My correspondents infer from the absence of such topics on your site that you deliberately avoid the good news and hawk the bad.

      Electro-kevin. Don’t be such a moron. Yesterdays rally is already over, and as for the so-called “upturn” in house prices, apart from yesterdays blip from Nationwide, house prices have fallen every month for the past 18 months. Todays figures from Halifax show another monthly fall of 1.9%.

      The market rallied because the mark-to-market accounting rules for banks were relaxed in the US.

      Nothing to do with the G20 other than the timing being designed to create the headlines we saw (which gullible f***ers like you fall for everytime).

      Guido – worth a read actually – adds to the scandal of the sudden withdrawal of funding from schools by the LSC and others.

      More generally, I have anecdotal evidence that there is a freeze being imposed on “discretionary” spending across government departments. And I mean on really serious stuff that normally would be considered sacrosanct.

      Added to the comments from Mandelson yesterday about destigmatising borrowing from the IMF I see growing evidence that the Government’s finances are, to use a technical term, in the shit.

    All charges are to be dropped and any thought of legal action in now seen as a mistake. The Glorious Leader of LaLa Land needs all the help he can get now – bent, bonkers, bankers – or bankrupt.

    Further honours and money will now be heaped upon Sir Shredder to persuade him to drop charges against the Beloved and Glorious Leader (Long may His Widdle Waddle as He Wanders talking Progressive Twaddle). The charges include defamation, acclamation, procrastination, indolation, penetration, and generally greasing-up.

    The Director of Politically Correct and Convenient Troof at AlJaBeeba will issue an emollient and carefully worded statement at LunchTime.

      It seems that some commentators are slowly if belatedley cottoning on to the fact(despite Denis MacShane -extolling the sheer brilliance of Gordon on Daily Politics Show)that there is actually NO new monies for the UK which is unlikely to benefit directly from Gordons “sermon” at the end of theG20 .

      This is all “smoke and mirrors” from the Great Conjurer – let’s face it – all his budgets were so byzantine and tortuous in their phraseology that people couldn’t understand them at the time they were announced – Who can forget the tax cut that was actually a tax increase !!!!!! – “Gordon’s New World Order” is actually the same old tired formula built on sand as people will see and it means DEFINITELY no tax cuts in the Budget on22 April although they’ll no doubt be the tired old cliches and already announced iniatives and monies re-announced in a blaze of BBC adulation. The bottom line is the UK is bankrupt so no more fiscal stimulus – there will be an application to the IMF before the end of the year mark my words and as for global financial regulation – well we’ll see but despite all the “hype” that’s unlikely to happen either. So to summarise – good PR for Gordon initially but really not a lot else concrete for the British “Man & Woman in the Street”!

    I’m good for a tenner.

      Do keep up, you eejit.

      Receipts being hawked here are the original scans, before they were sent out to MPs for redaction.

      Question: what would Guido’s liability be if he knowingly and recklessly published credit card details which led to identitiy theft or fraud?

        No, you keep up, eejit. Show me a till receipt with a *complete* credit card number on it issued in the last 5 years…

        **** **** **** twat.

        Why does Guido’s possible liability for consequential credit card fraud interest you more than the fraud carried out by our elected representatives.

        Now fuck off muppet.

    The reason all this has blown up, is that suddenly the MPs are not going to get an expenses rise this year.

    Their expenses are set in April based on March RPI. 0% this year.
    So they are making a bit to do about expenses, and are presumably angling to improve their lot.

    For interest the document here http://www.parliament.uk/documents/upload/HofCpsap.pdf has some relevance (thanks google) note eg point 5.7.1

      Yes the green book – note the name Andrew Walker – he ultimately runs the office that signs this crap off – i.e. when Jacqui et al say it was approved it was by him. He is a dyed in the wool yes man. He too has a lot to answer for.

    Get the disks…. set-up a dedicated website…allow visitors to buy 1 MP receipt at random @ £1 a go. Each purchased receipt is then published on the site… offer prizes to cash prizes to those who uncover a cabinet minster receipt or the MP with the biggest trout…

    - public good
    - money making
    - fun

    All in a single website :-)

    Guido, if you collect this money with PayPal too quickly (i.e. within a year, nevermind days) you will fall foul of a bunch of EU money laundering rules once you past certain amounts (£4000 or £6000 is the first one) and have your PayPal account suspended until you can provide more details. This keeps going on every time you pass certain magic amounts.

    If you seriously expect to gather a lot of money quickly then it’d probably be less hassle to just setup a merchant bank account and take credit card payments. The ~2 week setup time on that will probably end up being less than the grief PayPal will put you through.

    Then again, depending on how you accept your advertising funds maybe you’ve already been through most of these checks and will be OK.

    Technology is a wonDaNicoDemus360DEG – says:-
    Technology is a wonderful tool which we should all encompass, to use, for good but let us not lose sight of the issue at hand, one of MP;s abuse of their Privileges and of Deception to the UK public and the misuse of technology for MP’s to lie to the masses.

    Last Friday [10/04/2009] the government minister Phil Woolas, the UK Immigration Minister, defended the government’s position and attempted to deflect, Lie to the UK Public by raising the issue of ‘electronic borders system’ to criticize the other party’s of Parliament re UK Visa control. The fact is that this Labour government was in charge between 2001-2002 when both the local police and IND/Home Office were informed of a an overseas national, who was deliberately abusing and using the UK Visa system to remain within the UK, whilst not being on a university course and, in breach of and in violation of UK Visa rules for the purposes of, to remain within the UK. They, the local/national authorities did nothing then, allowed and permitted the person to remain and this abuse of UK Visas and situation still remains, still exists. They, this Labour government did nothing then, they are doing nothing now, or very little now and will do even less in the future!

    In December 2008, I contacted Metropolitan Police/Scotland Yard on behalf of and re the protection of the UK people, to inform them of an approach made to defraud the UK Public. They weren’t interested, didn’t want to know and couldn’t be bothered. Presumably, the money is now being used to supply and fund these under-cover, sleeper-cells, the terrorists within the UK. So where is the UK Protection?

    We continually have the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith MP coming on television, radio and, in the media to further, Lie and misinform, deceive us, the UK public about how she is protecting the UK and then a campaign is run on her behalf that, she is ‘being victimised because she is a woman.’ She is being condemned because she is abusing the system, MP’s expenses, ‘the Home Office is not fit for purpose,’** it was once said and thus She’s insulting our intelligence. MP’s lie, not just once but most of the time, but why? So as to give us, the Public “a misleading impression,”* with their oxymoronifick comments, to fool us the Public, the people whom they are supposed to represent, those who have elected them. They hide behind the word “Spin” to make it sound acceptable but it’s NOT! ‘Wake up and smell the coffee!’ Could it be that MP’s have difficulty in understanding when something is so plainly wrong, unfair and unjust or is it that they just want to be oblivious to it?

    ‘Politician lie’, according to an article [20 September 2006] by the Guardian journalists Anne Perkins so nothings changed since then… The UK public are not as gullible as Labour ministers would have us believe.

Michael Gove said

“There can be few more powerful forces of conservatism opposed to the flexibility, freedom and choice of the post-bureaucratic age than the Whelanist tendency now in control of the Labour party.”
