        What is so encouraging is that once again the beans have been spilled by a Tory mole. It follows therefore that when they take power in a year or so from now they will hopefully be all the more persuaded that it will be far better to let the rest of us have a genuine freedom of information act.

        They should post the whole caboodle on the web and update it weekly. This would come as a welcome change from the culture of obfuscation, half truths, lies by omission and downright porkies that we have suffered for the last twelve years. In fact put those moles who have got the sack from their public sector jobs these last few years in charge of it.

      This will be streeetched out for Maximum impact and revenue.

      No doubt Downing Street and others would have wished for a one batch “dumping” of ALL the information so that much would be missed in the sheer volume but this way the press will concentrate on some of the most egregious cases and put particular cases and “offenders” in the gunsights and put them slowly on the rack, day by day, drip by drip.

      And it’s an old fashioined scoop however you try and slice it.
      The Telegraph will dine on this for weeks.

      The john Lewis List on the telegraph website states categorically at the end that garden furniture, patio heaters and barbequeues cannot be claimed yet ony recently Five Bellies Jackboots was in the papers for having put a BBQ through the ACA expenses.

      How on earth have they missed that? or will there be a centrefold colour spread on jackboots on another day?

      Oh woe is me, my life is shit. I know I’ll inconveneience the whole of fucking London instead of drinking a bottle of gin and a shedload of paracetomol and sending a letter to the police so they’ll know where to find me.

    Question: Why does the government want this information released now, rather than in July?

    • 68
      The Grim Reaper says:

      It doesn’t make sense to me. I could understand it being released over the summer, as Parliament isn’t sitting. I suspect the forthcoming European and local elections has something to do with it – they might want to get this out of the way with now, presumably hoping that people forget about it before June 4th. If that’s the strategy, it stinks.

        The real question is: What about the other copies of the disc?

      • 127
        Sir Reginald Titbrain says:

        In the study of literature, redaction can refer to a form of editing, in which multiple source texts are combined together (redacted), and are subjected to minor alteration to make it appear that they are a single work. Often this is simply a method of collecting together a series of writings on a vaguely similar theme, and creating a definitive and coherent work.

        So sez the dictionary.

        This supersedes ‘cobbled together’, unfortunately. And unredacted means ‘uncobbled together’

        I hope this is clear now.

    “Within the rules” is a completely specious mantra.

    It is right that MPs – our lawmaking honourable members – bow to no higher authority. The unelected “Commons authorities” must not be granted more power. Any such power is a threat to democracy.

    The game-changer is the wonderful Freedom of Information Act (the only good law passed since 1997?), which quite simply is exposing dishonour.

    That is the only “rule” we need.

    It’s unfortunate for us and for them if many, perhaps most of our MPs have proved they are incapable of acting honourably without rules. We need them replaced with MPs who can.

    Harman is right that “the system needs to be changed” (tonight, Newsnight) – the simple way is to call a general election.

    Okay, Gordon’s “cleaner”.

    His brother was not paid to clean the flat. His brother hired a cleaner to clean the flat. The cleaner was paid approx 12k over 2 years of which Gordon claimed back half the cost as the flat was actually his.

    However, the question should be why is it allowed within the rules for him to claim for a cleaner when he is not using the property? If his brother was using the property and Gordon makes an arrangement that he’ll pay half the cleaning costs then that should come from his pocket, and not from expenses. If the flat is being rented out then the person renting the property should be cleaning it. If the cleaner is part of the rental agreement then the money for the cleaner should come from the rent paid. Anything else is plain and simple fraud.

    This could be the silver bullet to kill the undead snotgobbler. From the Times:

    “Mr Brown transferred the location of his main home, from his Scottish constituency to his London flat, ten days after Tony Blair announced the date that he would step down as Prime Minister. This allowed him to … carry out extensive repairs and redecoration at public expense.”

    That wasn’t just a little slip, that was a deliberate, calculated move to grab the biggest snoutful of swill from the trough. At a time when he was supposed to be working to solve the country’s problems, he was actually working out how to maximise his expense claims.

    Sure, it was within the rules. But it’s deliberate, calculated pocket-lining, and it stinks.

    Some of this may play into Labour hands.

    It could suit them if everyone believes that all politicians are dirty now. Although each individual politician smeared will suffer, collectively they may not.

    Expect 15-18% of Labour voters to vote for them whatever happens, these idiots would vote for them if they were putting people up against a wall, marxist sympathisers aren’t the most logical of voters. You could also expect a fair number of potential conservative and liberal party voters to drop off the radar if this story gains ground over the next few weeks and months as I am guessing it will.

    The result is that you may be left with only grassroots support and the protest vote. And that may even things up a bit in our ‘first past the post’ system.

      Forgive the Telegraph? Why should he? This story has got all the hallmarks of Number 10 on it. It’s news that was coming out anyway..the only difference is that this puts in in downing Streets control.

      The Telegraph have not changed their spots…they remain Downing Street sub-editors. Think about it…why would anyone else give this to the Telegraph?

      There’s a long term game plan going on here….get the Labout bad news out early….wait for the muted reaction of the Tories – which in itself will attract criticism – then watch with glee as the Tory sleaze is all revealed.. with lots of….”why weren’t you open about this at the time the Cabinet’s expenses were revealed?”
