Cameron Puts Shadow Cabinet Expenses Online in Realtime

rsz_pay-it-backYou can now watch the Shadow Cabinet expenses updated online, in realtime.  The planned Tory election broadcast has been abandoned.  Dave has instead gone for a 4 minute “sorry” and sets out the tough future rules his cabinet will follow.  Better late than never.

      If she’s out of order then I’ll be the first to give her a severe booting. In the meantime pray tell me WTF being an ex-nurse and a Christian fundy has to do with anything.

        nurses tend to be sanctimonious c*nts whilst christian fundys tend to be just sanctimonious

        and the fact that you are prepared to give her a “kicking” is supposed to display what exactly. that you take a moral stand or are just a bit thick

        And yes, I’ll back Nadine to the hilt if she’s right. If she’s wrong I’ll be the first to condemn her. Now fuck off and do one you thick twat.

        Thoroughly enjoyed reading Nadine Dorries’ self-righteous blog post this morning.

        It’s good to hear her side of the story, and we should be particularly pleased that she has clarified things regarding the bill she put in for spending New Year’s Eve (when parliment was not sitting) at the exclusive and expensive (but presumably neither luxurious nor extravagant) Carlton Club.

        So, as related by Ms Dorries in her rebuttal of the Telegraph’s allegations:

        1. She did not stay at the Carton Club that night (she was actually hosting a party and overseeing a “12 bird roast”)
        2. She speculates that one of her “friends” may have impersonated her and booked a room in her name, charging everything to Mr Dorries’ account
        3. Somehow, Mr Dorries receipt found its way to Mrs Dorries’ PA who then tried to pass the cost of the freeloading on to the tax-payer
        4. What she did was so out of order that she was actually rumbled by the expenses office (so it is all OK)

        And there was me thinking something might have been amiss!

        Her friends sound like nice people, don’t they?

        Well, at least we all now know how we can stay at the Carlton Club for free!

      JimDee says:

      Part of the problem is that they picked women (low intelligence – not talent – no morals – “useless eaters”) and homosexuals (low intelligence – not talent – no morals – “useless eaters”) to be MPs to be PC.

      Oddly, useless women and homosexuals who have no ability or creativity in any sphere of life are genius at lying and thieving.

      For example, potato-head Nu Labour retard, David Borrow, MP for South Ribble has spent his entire political life travelling round the world with his boyfriend going to gay parties and ‘doing’ lads in need of food, under the pretence of ‘aids awareness’. He always claims to the max for his Nazi gay nest.

        Ok, you’re a misogynistic homophobic hoon aren’t you.

        So if you’re female you’re thick? My 10 year old daughter is probably more intelligent than you. Mind she does have an IQ of 154.

        And you’re thick if you’re gay? Try telling that to Stephen Fry. He may be a bit of a hoon and a luvvie, but he’s certainly highly intelligent and talented.

        if the sum total of your arguement is stephen fry, i would suggest that you are a case in point for mass sterilisation in order to stop the nation from further producing yet more miscreants

        the fact that you have infected the next generation of this species with your genetic code is deeply troubling

        Strangely enough I’m white and heterosexual as well. However I’m not a bigotted hoon who immediately assumes all women and gays are thick.

        I was also a serving Mensa officer. But I had the good sense to know that it’s really a waste of time, only good bit about Mensa was the magazine.

        I think he may be saying “women or homosexuals who happen to be useless but have been picked in order to be politically correct”

        Mr Ned says:

        He may very well be misogynistic and he may very well consider homosexuality to be a perverted and abnormal practice that is an abomination of nature or God or both. BUT, he should have the right to state his opinions with equal validity of those who believe the complete opposite. Nobody has to agree with him.

        I fucking HATE with a passion the idea that the gay fascists and feminist fascists can tell other people what to think and what not to think, but nobody can tell them that there views are EQUALLY as offensive to people who hold the opposing view.

        As far as I can tell, there are people who have a valid belief in the normality of their homosexuality and they feel naturally attracted to people of the same gender. LIKEWISE there are people who naturally and normally feel that homosexuality is a vile and repulsive abomination and perversion and the very thought of same gender sex makes them feel physically sick. In my opinion BOTH views are equally valid for the people that hold them. So long as neither take action to enforce their opinion through physical assault, I see no problem with either view being held or expressed.

        I am NOT supporting physical violence against gays or women, as there is a HUGE difference between thinking and saying that a particular group is vile and perverse and actually physically assaulting them. I think you will find that my view on this is a whole lot more reasonable and balanced than some feminists that actually believe that domestic violence ONLY victimises women and women should have the right to physically attack men as a pre-emptive defence.

        ALL opinions should be allowed in law, no matter how repulsive. Actions are a whole different matter.

        Having “protected groups” that hate laws protect from hurtful speech, only serves to divide and conquer us as a species. Now you have Muslims attacking hate speech of Christians and Jews. Jews attacking the hate speech of Muslims and Catholic Christians. Gays attacking Christians and Muslims and women attacking everybody. It is getting fucking INSANE!

        We are ALL created EQUAL in law. Opinions and speech MUST be free for EVERYBODY or it is not free for ANYBODY!

        Anyone who disagrees with freedom of speech for anyone else should stop one person from speaking before anyone else lest they display their hypocrisy as a badge of honour. That person should be THEMSELVES!

        Mr Ned says:

        “What is a “useless eater”?”

        It is a term that has been extensively documented as being used in texts and speeches by several members of the global elite (Rockefellers, Tafts, Rothschilds etc…) to describe ordinary human people that they see as being surplus to the earth’s requirements. There are between 2 and 5 BILLION useless eaters on this planet and these global elites (the one’s who fund the think tanks and run the secret societies that create the policies that the mainstream media and the mainstream parties put into effect) wish to see the global population reduced to about 1 Billion people. They plan to do this through religious and race and international wars, releasing pandemic viruses, financial collapse, genetic manipulation of food to remove nutrients and the outlawing of healthy nutrients through codex alimentarius, and through draconian restrictions in our movements and living arrangements due to the risk of cataclysmic human induced climate change (which is a scam). (None of these are natural disasters. ALL of them will be created by man and publicised in the elite controlled media as being naturally occurring)

        Alien8n says:

        Mr Ned, I totally agree.

        As once said (sort of) “I don’t agree with what you say, but I defend your right to say it”. As for the homophobic hoons on here, I find trashing their arguments a much more effective way of dealing with them than trashing their faces.

        Anyway, every gay man is 1 less competition for us heterosexual men :)

      General Payne says:

      Lets be honest here.

      The only reason that the entire UK is so arsed about the greedy theiving bastard MP’s is not because of the pissy little amount of dosh that they have syphoned off year on year.

      It is because the fuckwits are useless. Everything they touch they fuck up. The country, the Millenium Dome, Iraq, the Olympics, Wembley Stadium, the cops, prisons, armed forces, social services, hospitals, schools and my fucking life. Everything and anything. They are fucking useless. They just make our lives harder and more complicated with shit laws that cause grief for the honest whilst doing sod all to actually solve the problems.

      They piss billions down the sink hole on their bloody daft computer systems, Identity cards, silly departments for this and that minority groups and logo changes for Government departments they have fucked up in the hope that a new name will make us forget how fucking useless they were. (Soon we will get Social Services changed to Service Sociale’. A name change for squillions of quids so that we will forget how they idly sat by whilst twats murdered Baby Peter. And it also boosts our Euro’ credentials.)

      What about pissing a few quid down the potholes that make up the suspension and tyre busting surface I drive to work on every fucking day ?

      They reward the idle feckless wankers and bleed the fucking life out of the rest of us twats that keep paying in whilst getting fuck all out.

      If life was fair and straight and we got reasonable value for money from these pricks, we wouldnt give two fucks about their fucking bath plugs and hanging plants. This is just the final fucking straw.

      Guido. Live up to your namesake and blow the fucking cock pockets up !

        thick as thieves says:

        And in their desperation the people prayed to the Lord.
        “Lord those who represent us have proved to be lying thieving Bastards. What should we do with these thieves and liars who have led us into wars, occupation and famine?
        What would be a fair sentence, Lord, for those who have turned us into occupiers of other people’s land and then told us that when we get bombed and murdered by terrorists in this country it has nothing to do with the warmongering foreign policy written by the ones they call “The Scottish Mafia New Labour”.
        And then, Lord, after causing all this shit because of their failed foreign policy “The Scottish Mafia New Labour” are taking away the very rights we have recently gained from the King of England.
        What should we do with these wicked self serving fraudsters Lord? We are too downtrodden and stupid to deconstruct such a well contrived puzzle, it far too taxing for our small brains.”
        And in his mercy The Lord heard the worthless mob cry out His Name and He decided to show the mob mercy by answering their question the people had begged him to answer
        And The Lord said
        “There is only one thing you need to do:
        GET THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS UP AGAINST A WALL START PULLING THE FUCKING TRIGGER IN A BUSINESSLIKE MANNER!
        SHOW NO MERCY, THESE MOTHERFUCKERS WORK FOR SATAN.
        DO NOT STOP BASHING THEIR BRAINS OUT UNTIL
        A)THEY STOP TWITCHING, OR
        B)THE HEAD IS COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM THE NECK.”

        Amen.

      Ashiata says:

      Aaarrggh…….only posting expenses? That’s sad. He should be ordering his phantom Cabinet to post their additional income as well from their several jobs and directorships. That way we can see how industrious they are, and who pulls their strings.

      • 234
        Alien8n says:

        Interesting comment from John Redwood regarding second jobs

        “Around 100 MPs have unpaid official jobs as Shadow Ministers and Opposition Spokesmen. The senior jobs within this group are very demanding and can require someone to avoid or resign from outside jobs. Contrary to common belief there are no cars, civil servants or other official assitance in the way there is for Ministers.”

        Chances are they don’t have a second job due to be in the Shadow Cabinet.

        And it’s also a red herring, as there are more likely to be as many, if not more, MPs with second jobs on the Labour benches. Difference being the Tories will have earned their second jobs and not just been handed a directorship of some Labour appointed Quango.

      • 251
        Ashiata says:

        Alien8n, interesting point. But I am not sure it is true.

        I saw some figs, sorry can’t remember where, that stated that 2/3rds of Tories have another income, 1/3rd Liberals and 1/5th Labour. Labour has a low figure compared to the others as there are a number of Labour MP’s in the government so they can’t have a second (or third, or fourth job). The Liberals fig is low compared to Tories because frankly would you want one of them running your company?

        But on the point about quangos, I saw/heard Andrew Lansley on Question Time saying he took up a directorship paying 24,000 a year for approx 12 days work in the year “to learn about the business world before entering the government at the next election”. What Board in their right mind would pay a director to learn on the job? I would love to be paid 24,000 for 12 days work with no skills required.

        Nice work if you can get it. Many non-government Labour MP’s will have generous second, third jobs.

        I don’t like her as a politician, but she’s a ball crusher as a boss. Perfect for business, that’s why she failed at Health. The only balls Lansley would be crushing are his own as he sits down on them. he reminds me of that bloke from dad’s Army. Oh, and he’s s FLIPPER – see telegraph article on him.

        Ashiata I can see where you’re coming from but I have to disagree.

        If you ban MPs from second jobs the only people you’ll get as MPs are ones who see being an MP as the only way they’ll ever earn an above average wage. We need MPs with a proven record in business, the ones who have worked and been successful. We also need MPs who have the ideals and are willing to hold their fellow MPs to account, who see the job as a service and not a free lunch.

        What I’m trying to say is that we need MPs from all walks of life. However, what we don’t need are the self interested troughers who’s only experience of work is as a lackey for some political party before being elected.

        Alien8n says:

      Isn’t it revealing how the left turn to hate speech when they are on a losing streak.

      I don’t recall Blair using this foul, discriminatory language against nurses and Christians when he was trying to seem like a ‘straight kinda guy’.

      Now that Labour and their supporters are desperate they will say and do anything. Even they had a shred of decency or common sense left, they would know that this approach is disreputable, futile and self-defeating.

        John “Chipshop” Prescott.
        And all the rest of the assorted fetid, corpulent, rancid and sweating mounds of blubber that comprise the labour side.

        I want to see nothing less than the whole pox stricken coven of them begging on the street like theyve done to our servicemen.

        Venal, vile and soon to be vanquished- VERMIN!

        @422, notafan… AWESOME RANT!!! LOVED IT!

        You forgot that they are a lying bunch of war criminals who deliberately and wilfully told deliberate lies to Parliament and the country to suck up to religious extremist fundamentalists in the USA to join their “New Crusade” in the middle east.

        That they abused their natural support-base by attempting to double the poorest worker’s income tax whilst bailing out banks with our Billions.

        They have ruined manufacturing and the competitiveness of British manufacturing in their desire to build an economy based entirely on Debt and the over-tax that growth so that the people could never see any of the proceeds of that growth unless they borrowed it. All the benefit of the growth and more besides was taken in tax and then wasted. All the people got from that growth was a huge amount of personal and state debt!

        That they have politiciesd our schools and turned them into politically correct indoctrination centers and the NHS is a politica football that is raped by its own management who put their own perks first, political targets second and the patients third.

        That they have politicised the police and use them as a party political protection racket against their opponents. The police can raid, detain and take the DNA of an opposition front bencher immediately on hearing a complaint based entirely on hearsay evidence that was shown to be entirely without foundation and was used as a need to cover the home secretary’s ass for her own gross incompetence, Whilst prima facie evidence of blatant Fruad is left un-challenged and uninvestigated in-spite of hundreds of individual formal complaints to the police by voters, newpapers and other organisations. NOT ONE MP HAS HAD THEIR COLLARS FELT YET!!!

        WHY THE FUCK WAS NOBODY CHARGED FOR WASTING POLICE TIME AND BRINGING A VEXATIOUS AND FRIVOULOUS CHARGE? OR FOR THE SERIOUS CRIME OF CONTEMPT OF PARLIAMENT?

        …and you missed that they are a mendacious malevolent and evil caricature of the worst kind of foul parody of the old nasty tory party. They make Thatcherism look cute and sweet by comparison, and I lived through much of the worst of Thatcherism in my northern industrial working class town!

        Dave is still ahead of the P.R. game (as you’d expect) but as Inspector Knacker begins to awaken from his slumber and reluctantly head towards Westminster and the resignations/sackings begin to gain speed a P.R. Offensive of any kind is just SO beside the point now.

        Take a look at Nadine’s blog:

        “Most of us [MPs] live a normal, frugal existence and struggle to pay the bills”

        wtf? seriously, wtf?

        Is she lying, or has she completely lost touch with the real world? How can anyone with any idea of life not think that is utter laughable bollocks?

        Sorry Nadine darling, but even without the troughing expense fiddles and the ridiculously generous taxpayer-guaranteed pension, a backbench MP’s salary is £64,766. That puts you in the richest 5% in the country. If you are “struggling” to pay for a “frugal existence”, how the fuck do you think the rest of us 95% manage?

        I can’t decide what’s worse – that they’re screwing all this money out of us, or that they still think they deserve sympathy because they’re so poor.

      I posted this somewhere here the other day but it got lost in a moderation in-tray for hours. Let’s try again.

      [Ko ko - the High Executioner]

      As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
      I’ve got a little list, I’ve got a little list,
      Of political offenders who deserve to be underground,
      And who never would be missed, who never would be missed!

      There’s the pestilential nuisances who write the Telegraph,
      John Prescott who has flabby hands and an irritating laugh,
      The chap who has claimed for his student daughter’s flat,
      Mister Brown who in shaking hands, doesn’t shake hands quite like that,
      As the dutiful Policeman outside Number 10 insists
      They’d none of ‘em be missed, they’d none of ‘em be missed!

      [Chorus]
      He’s got ‘em on the list, he’s got ‘em on the list;
      And they’ll none of ‘em be missed, they’ll none of ‘em be missed!

      Then there’s the senior police inspector who is on the case,
      And the toffy moat dredger, I’ve got him on the list!
      And the chap who puts on make-up and puffs it on his face,
      They never would be missed, they never would be missed!

      Then the idiot who praises, our beloved ex-leader Tone,
      All centuries but this, and every country but his own;
      And the lady from the provinces, who dresses like a dyke,
      And who doesn’t think she has to pay, would rather ride her bike!
      And that singular anomaly, the wife of the novelist
      I don’t think she’d be missed, I’m sure she’d not be missed!

      [CHORUS]
      He’s got her on the list, he’s got her on the list;
      And I don’t think she’ll be missed, I’m sure she’ll not be missed!

      And that speedy Harman, who just now is rather rife,
      she’s the equal opportunist, I’ve got her on the list!
      And don’t forget the Moron, with claims to a private life
      They’d none of ‘em be missed, they’d none of ‘em be missed!

      And apologetic statesmen, all of them are such a pain,
      Such as Gorbals Mick and Mandy, the Hoon and orange Hain,
      And the Balls-Coopers duo and also You-know-who
      The task of filling up the blanks I’d rather leave to you.
      But it really doesn’t matter whom you put upon the list,
      For they’d none of ‘em be missed, they’d none of ‘em be missed!

      [CHORUS]
      You may put ‘em on the list, you may put ‘em on the list;
      And they’ll none of ‘em be missed, they’ll none of ‘em be missed!

    Is Nadine Dorries really for the chop? I hadn’t registered who she is, but her “defence” on her website is juvenile. She shouldn’t be in a position of authority, she doesn’t have the intelligence for it.

      Papasmurf says:

      Two things about her defence in her blog and in the DT report I noticed were that she had split from her Hubby in ‘late 2006′ and the invoice from the Carlto was to Mr N Dorries. So one assumes that hubby was playing away at her expense. No wonder it bounced at the Fees Office and no doubt she wouldn’t want to pay it because of the marital problems.

      The next thing is
      “2. You also put in several hotel bills that included minibar drinks. Please can you explain why you felt this was an appropriate use of public funds.

      Answer
      Oh that the Carlton Club had mini bars in the rooms, it does not.”

      Note it did not ask if the drinks were claimed at the Carlton but at “several hotels.”

        I assume it’s that letter in the Herald and Post…

        ‘Thankfully my belief in our government systems has been kept alive by another local MP, Kelvin Hopkins, who has proven himself to be an upstanding, ahonest and decent individual who has demonstrated how the expense system was supposed to be used. He is exactly the type of person I am proud to be represented by.

        ‘Ms Moran could learn a thing or two from her colleasue in Luton Horth, and she should resign so as not to tar their names with her conduct.’

        Yes, I read the letter, and feel somewhat drop-jawed at it as well. But there again, no party is going unscathed, it’s more a matter of WHO is clean, not which party!

        Don’t think that the Greens would’ve been clean – their very basic message about CO2 warming is ludicrous!

        Ever heard of a planet called Venus – 96.5% CO2, 10 times the atmospheric pressure, only 400K above expected temperature, and astro-physicists are now hypothesising it’s due to the fact that Venus was ‘hit’ out of its original orbit into its current one, and the heating was caused by the ‘blast’.

        Global warming also reported:
        Jupiter May 8 2007
        Pluto October 9 2002
        Neptune’s Moon Triton June 24 1998

    I posted this earlier on Dale’s.

    As promised the conservatives have now started to publish their expenses claims online.

    http://www.conservatives.com/expenses/expensesPopup.html

    So far there are claims from three MPs, and I can already see a problem. Why are we, the taxpayers, paying for such things as newspapers and camera memory cards, as claimed by Owen Paterson.

    I do know that at least as far as the newspaper claim is concerned he is not alone in claiming for these, but that does not make it right.

    What’s needed is for MPs to be treated the same as the rest of us by HMRC re expenses.

    Their wages should be tied to a multiple of the minimum wage, that way they would at least be dragging the rest of society with them if the award/are awarded large pay rises.;-)

      It’s not just MP’s that claim for newspapers etc.

      I used to work in the Chief Execs office of a council who had every single paper available delivered every day at the expense of the taxpayer. Now 80% of the time he never even bothered to turn up to his office so they where simply thrown in the bin ( after we had had a good read of them all, again, being paid by the taxpayer )

      Now you multiply this cost along with the plethora of other spurious costs that one can not be bothered to list for all the hundreds of councils alone, it comes to some considerable sum of cash.

      Let alone the fact that a person on £100,000+ was only actually there for less than a day a week as far as I can recall in which he mainly sat there looking out over the river view from his office doing fuck all before fucking off again a few hours later is by the by, usually he was at “meetings” ( ie. Golf Course )

      The level of wasteage of cash pilfered from your wallet runs far far deeper than merely the troughing hoons in Westminster.

    O/T – had a strange conversation today. My telly aerial went wrong and the guy who came to fix it today – white self employed tv engineer – worked for himself for over 30 years – been a Labour voter for as long said he would never vote Labour again. His vote in the Euros is going to the Bee n Pee. I am sure that this will be happening all over the country – Labour’s core vote, white working class, will either not vote, or if they can read they will vote UKIP or if thay can’t Bee N Pee.

    Worcester woman and Mondeo Man, much courted by NuLiebour in the late 90′s will return to their home – the Conservatives. Labour will have to rely on the ethnic vote together with public sector workers and tax collectors (benefits people) – they may get 20%ish.

    The Tories will win many councils on June 4th – but the big news story will be the fringe parties – this could be a shattering of the old mould. Politics from June 4th will be a different game. If Liebour hank on for another twelve months there will be an even bigger earthquake at the GE – events will not be kind to Brown in the run up and his party will be tearing itself apart – so they are doomed. DC could get a thumping majority but the joker in the pack will be the smaller parties. I expect the LD’s to get squeezed if the Greens get support, Scotland will go more SNP and England will be almost all blue – the fascinating bit will be the Liebour heartlands, Wales and north of England. If the Liebour constituencies rely on white working class votes, they will be in for a shock.

      people do not trust Gordon or labour, he has choosen spin over substance , but as this has gone on for years , the undercurrents of unasnwered questions and the failed policies are leaving people quite cheated . i dont think it could be any clearer that they should call a general election and in so doing allowing a new thinking and realignment to take place , if they think that this is a bad patch and the weather can change when the economy returns they are fooling themselves .

      The SNP are not yet mature as a political party , they sound nice and local , but the leftest agenda keeps bursting out , “being free of westminster” is a slogan that neither pays homage to the past nor prcisely defines the future , it also creates an uncessary wedge , i am a firm beliver in the long term benfits of the union , let alone its more natural island structure .it has given wealth via trade .

      At least we can vote, those poor students in Tiananmen square…. all they’ve got is a bunch of self-perpetuating, self- interested trough merchants devoted to hiding anything deemed embarrassing to the regime and controlling every aspect of the lives of the populous. I couldn’t imagine our government failing to hold an election if nearly 60,000 signatures on the No.10 forum asked the PM to resign or if the party’s popularity fell to an all time low. I’m sure they’d do the right thing if they’d dragged the country into the worst financial state it’d been in for over half a century. After all they’re in it for the country and not to feather their own nests.

      Clear criminal offence committed here by a Labour MP……

      David Chaytor Labour MP Bury North who has now admitted claiming £13k on a mortgage that didn’t exist:

      “The Telegraph has established that between September, 2005, and August. 2006, Mr Chaytor claimed £1,175 a month for mortgage interest on a Westminster flat. However, Land Registry records show that the mortgage on the flat had already been paid off in January 2004.

      The MP for Bury North has some of the most controversial arrangements of any parliamentarian examined by the Telegraph over the past nine days. Since 2004, he has claimed for five different properties, “flipping” his designated second home between London, Yorkshire and Bury. He claimed for one home where his son was the named occupant on council tax bills.”

        In this respect they are fairer than private firms, where skimming off expenses is the preserve of the upper management. I once worked for a firm where the MD used to reclaim his fuel cost both directly from the receipts and and from his credit card, but was sh1t hot at monitoring everybody else’s expenses. He cut the accountant who had to be kept onside, a little slack, of course.

    Shahid Malik, who stepped down as Justice Minister, has received the unanimous support from his Dewsbury constituency Labour Party.

        Nothing wrong with having ideals. My betting is that most MPs had ideals when they went into Westminster. The trick is keeping them while being an MP.

        To be honest I’d settle for an MP that keeps his troughing to a minimum, votes with his conscience and who consults with his constituents regularly.

        Not sure about troughing but Ed Vaizey has always come across as a damn good MP. So much so he even offered to personally intervene when we had an issue with the local primary school. Puts his views across and doesn’t patronise his constituents when he doesn’t agree with their views either. That’s my personal experience anyway.

      Dr Feelgood says:

      The point you are missing is that if they make a gain on the property when sold, that is not at the expense of the taxpayer – it does not use up our tax pounds in the way that paying for maintenance does. They should pay CGT on sale like everyone does on properties other than ones’ main residence.

      I admit one could argue that MPs’ second homes in central London might distort the market by creating further demand, but doubt this has a measurable material effect in adding to the overall price of property in the country.

      In one way, making a profit on second homes could be seen like a share option scheme in the private sector. If MPs enhance the wealth of the nation, then one hopes that property values would appreciate (properly, and not via an artificial credit bubble). So making something on disposal is not necessarily a bad thing (subject to CGT paid).

      We should also incentivize public sector workers – bung ‘em a bonus for every billion knocked off government expenditure or for every 10,000 headcount reduction.

    ‘Similarly in the present case it seems to me that a journalist does not purchase and read newspapers in the performance of his duties but for the purpose of ensuring that he will carry out his duties efficiently. If deductions of this kind were allowed in one case every journalist or other similar employee would claim to be entitled to deduct the payment made by him for every newspaper and periodical which he chose to purchase and there would be no end to it.’

        Cameron is looking to crack down and top of his published list is an expense that would be taxed in the hands of all employees in the UK. You might think it unreasonable but that is the law of the land and has been for the best part of a century.

    FROM THE BBC—

    A radioactive leak at Sellafield went undetected for 14 months, an internal inquiry at the nuclear reprocessing plant has found.

    The “steady drip” was detected on 23 January, the day Gordon Brown visited the site to announce possible locations for new nuclear power stations.

    Atlas shrugged says:

    I dont know how many read my last few comments about how our politicians have been deliberately corrupted by the establishment, in order to facilitate blackmail from the whips office.

    I found this statement from Mrs Iain Dale. I thought it might interest some of you.

    “I was at a talk given by Ken Livingstone at Oxford University last night, and he said something which, if true, I found appalling. When asked about MPs expenses, he claimed that when he was an MP, the whips called a meeting and said that they had noticed that many MPs were not claiming their second home allowance even though they were entitled to it. If this was the case, they requested that the MPs claim it and give it to the Labour Party. They were apparently encouraged to claim it, and were told it was there as a supplement to their salary. MPs were apparently told it was “not a matter for the Inland Revenue”. Now this was Ken Livingstone talking, so the above comes with all the usual caveats. He was also speaking about the early 1990s, so it’s not exactly recent. But nevertheless – appalling.”

    Unquote.

    I am as certain as I need to be that the Conservative Whips were doing the same thing at the same time, as I am sure most of you are.

    Now why do you think they would want to be doing that??????????????????

    Please be reminded

    It is not so much our politicians that should worry us, only they should worry us half to death anyway. Mortal MP’s are just as open to the temptation of seemingly easy, and legally so, free cash as any of the rest of us.

    The problem is the SYSTEM. Not the largely ignorant and vastly incompetent minions caught up in its viciously controlling spiders web of manipulation.

    Who was the civil servant that drafted up this blackmailers charter?

    Remember others have been caught out by this over the last few years, at no time did any of them snitch on the system. WHY, what did they have too lose? What sort of huss incentive were they given or threatened with? What type of LEGISLATION did the WHIPS offices get their respective victims to vote for? Was most of it stuff that they knew was immoral, dishonest or destructive to our lives liberty and prosperity?

    These are the types of questions we should be asking, and trying to find a common pattern too.

        They have over time corrupted just about everything that the so called Conservative Party did not get around to.

        Have you ever heard of the ratchet effect of socialism?

        All the Conservative Party has ever managed at its best is slowing international communism down a bit from time to time, when not wittingly or otherwise giving it a strong helping hand.

        Just imagine if you were a Second World War Tommy, and could see the future of this country as it is today.

      Well, don’t include me in the ‘most’ . What is your basis for this? This appears to be typically biased conjecture/opinion we have had to become accustomed to from this lot of liars and their groupies. Do you support labour perchance? It is a serious assertion.

        Well if we’re gong to go all “Deep Throat” and Conspiratorial it must be pointed out that The Square Mile was not best Pleased with the prospect of being pilloried and a raft of eye watering regulation heading their way after the Banking Catastrophe.

        Brown was starting to get rather populist in his blaming of the Bankers and some say he was preparing to very firmly shift the blame four square onto the Bankers and The City and ride the wave of populist anger to deflect his obvious complicity.

        But Brown, New Labour and the City were incestuously close and there is still a great deal of influence wielded from those in the City to “friends” in the Government and the Civil Service.

        One Expenses Scandal later and the City is almost smelling of roses despite the incomprehensibly VAST amount of cash they fobbed onto the Taxpayers for their actions.

        But this might all be as simple as one p*ssed off civil servant getting his own back on Piggish MP’s constantly haraunging the Fees Office and demanding that their Expenses be met.

        Please substantiate with verifiable facts.

        I can not, it is my opinion. I do not profess to have any inside or direct given knowledge about anything to do people in power. If I met one of these alien creatures by off chance, they would most certainly dislike myself, and I would most likely find the temptation to kick them hard in the balls, infinitely to great to resist.

        Could you substantiate that they did not, with verifiable facts?

        I thought not.

        Do you always wait to have all of the verifiable facts verified in triplet and signed in front of a JP, before coming to a personal opinion or conclusion?

        My advice is to not attempt to cross the road without a responsible adult holding your hand. Otherwise you will be standing on the curb, until it is time to come home from school.

        However if we did some investigating into the other points I made, a pattern may emerge regarding which type of legislation respective Labour or Conservative MP’s were most ‘ENCOURAGED’ to abstain or vote for.

        I suspect that these WHIPPINGS would have more to do with establishment agendas rather then Party political ones. Matters of conscience, that sort of thing.

        Yes, some of them do still have a conscience and a constituency party to worry about.

        Other wise there would be no need for a whips office, or a highly suspect and designed to be corrupting expenses system.

    Whats the difference between newlabour and the Tories?

    Both have almost identical policies, both fully supported and still support the illegal wars and occupations, both are happy to serve the brussels based EUSSR superstate and both are happy to keep throwing billions of pounds to the EU.
    Both love high taxes to support mass third world immigration and both support the insane and useless fight against a harmless trace gas called carbon dioxide, both are signed upto cap and trade which will cost hundreds of billions of pounds and deliver us NOTHING except poverty.
    Both love the quango culture and love the big brother state, both support the yuman rites laws that have proved to be a disaster.
    The Tories and newlabour are the different grubby cheeks of the same grubby arse, there will be no change when Dave walks into No10 and in fact things will get worse if thats possible!
    Both parties fully support the racist discrimination against the white native British peoples and both fully support the continued mass takeover of the UK by the islamist hostile colonists, millions of muslims are pouring into the UK setting up their own state and they hate us and wish us nothing but harm and yet both parties welcome this invasion and fully support it, both will provide generous funding and support for the islamists and both are happy to set up sharia law in the UK!
    The Tories and newlabour are the same and they have the same aims, both wish to destroy the UK through unlimited immigration and utter servitude to the EU monster, so what is the difference between them?
    Both are corrupt and dishonest, they are pigs in a common trough and thieves together, both hold us prole scum in utter contempt and they shit in our faces daily, they are not only stealing our fucking money they are stealing our fucking nation and its history, no wonder they are trying to divert the publics attention away from their own grubby dealings by turning on a legal party that is in fact the only party that will stop all of the above.
    The staggering dishonesty of both parties will only stop if the voter sends them and election message they will never forget,

    Cash-strapped wrinkly says:

    Is anyone joining up the thinking on MPs expenses? I have been checking out the expenses of two MPs – Janet Anderson: Labour Rossendale & Darwin and Andrew Selous Conservative South West Bedfordshire – see some key extracts below.

    Janet Anderson claims the highest amount for car travel (apparently the equivalent of an average of 5 journeys per week to her constituency) but stays in her partner’s London home (Jim Dowd MP) and seems to have a good voting record indicating much time spent in the House! Neither MP provides information about their expenses on their website.

    Andrew Selous does provide information about his expenses including an explanation of ‘flipping’ history and also justifying a London home even though he lives within reasonable commuting distance of Westminster by car and/or fast train services + taxis. What he does not mention is that he owns a London property which he lets out (see Register of Members interests).

    Noting that my yearly Council Tax charges amount to more than a quarter of my State Pension, my ‘millions in taxpayers’ money’ question is why are these two expenses profiles so contradictory in comparison and also individually.

    Janet Anderson topped a list of MP’s mileage claims for the second year running, with a claim for £13,581.

    The total claim for expenses from Mrs Anderson was the second highest on the list at £155,610, which covers staff, office costs, IT and stationery.

    In February 2007, when MP’s travel expenses were unearthed, she had the highest mileage of all MPs, claiming £16,612 for 60,118 miles to her Lancashire constituency; an average of 1156 miles per week at 28 pence a mile.
    This was £4,500 more than the next highest, the MP for Tewkesbury.
    Assuming a car will give thirty miles per gallon, this is around £8.30 per gallon, or £1.82 per litre (4.55 litres to a gallon).

    According to the AA, the distance from Darwen to Westminster is 225 miles: she averaged this distance five times a week (costing the taxpayer £124 each round trip – compared to a £60 saver return on the train).

    Hyndburn MP, Greg Pope, claimed expenses totalling £148,000 and Burnley MP, Kitty Ussher, claimed £145,562.

    MP comes under fire over loan
    Catherine Smyth
    April 17, 2009

    ROSSENDALE MP Janet Anderson has come under fire for securing a personal loan on her constituency home.

    It was revealed this week that the loan, for an undisclosed sum, was secured against her second home in Earnsdale Road, Darwen, in 2005.

    And Mrs Anderson’s political rivals said it reasserted the need for an urgent review of the current expenses system for MPs.

    But she stressed the loan was paid for entirely, both repayments and interest, by herself and not the taxpayer.

    Mrs Anderson, who also has a London residence she shares with her partner and fellow MP Jim Dowd, told the Free Press: “At the time I took out the loan I wasn’t doing anything outside the rules because is it being repaid personally by me.

    “This has been done at no cost to the taxpayer, it is purely a personal loan. I had a home in London when I was elected and I am allowed to have a home in my constituency. I am fully accountable.

    “In July MPs receipts will be published of everything that has been claimed and it will be for people to judge then.”

    Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for Rossendale and Darwen Dale Mulgrew said: “Unfortunately, once more this shows the flaws in the current MPs’ expenses system.”

    Mr Mulgrew said the matter also revealed a complete detachment with the public at large, who, in the current downturn, were finding it difficult apply for loans and mortgages – and struggling to keep the payments up on them.

    He added: “Before there was an element of trust that MPs would use reasonable discretion over their expenses. Clearly the public has had an awakening of late.”

    Conservative parliamentary candidate Jake Berry said: “Obviously this further undermines people’s trust in politicians, not just Janet Anderson. There needs to be an urgent review of MPs’ expenses and the people of Rossendale and Darwen must judge whether they are getting value for money.”

    As we reported earlier this month, Mrs Anderson’s total expenses claim for 2007/08 (£173,556) was the seventh highest of all MPs; she also had the biggest mileage claim for that period – £11,996, equating to nearly 42,000 miles.

    She said at the time: “The parliamentary allowances are there to allow me to do my job and the claims I made were all within the rules.”

    Prime Minister Gordon Brown has responded to recent public concern about MPs’ expenses generally by demanding that a wide-ranging review of the system by the Committee on Standards in Public Life be brought forward.

    CHANNEL 4 WATCHDOG PROBES JANET ANDERSON’S EXPENSES
    7.32.21pm BST (GMT +0100) Mon 20th Apr 2009

    Last night’s edition of the Channel four current affairs programme ‘Dispatches’ launched an investigation into MP’s expenses and featured Janet Anderson MP.

    Once more the Rossendale and Darwen MP has come under the glare of the public spotlight and has been questioned over her expenses.

    The Dispatches programme questioned Ms Anderson’s on her mileage claims. In response Janet Anderson provided a statement re-confirming that she will have a full disclosure of her expenses when they get published in July.

    Commenting on Ms Anderson’s inclusion in last night’s Channel four documentary, Lib Dem Parliamentary candidate Dale Mulgrew commented, ‘I was interested to see Janet Anderson included in the programme, which was a chilling expose of dubious goings on from different MPs. It was a less than honourable walk of fame.’

    ‘Her comments in response to the journalist were extremely vague and revealed all. For Janet Anderson to remain silent only goes to add to the shroud of secrecy which shields her entire expenses set up.’

    ‘I think the public will be more keen to find out in July what the public money has been used for.’

    ‘But it cannot provide much confidence to the electors of Rossendale and Darwen to see their MP being put on public trial for such activities, when alas she should be instead proving that she is still committed to the job.’

    View From The House – MPs Expenses

    A Parliament damaged by expenses

    I have been in near despair over the last few days about the reputation of our Parliament and the MPs who work in it. The revelations of MPs second home expenses have done enormous damage. What gives me hope for the future though, is the public’s anger about what they have read. In a democracy, as opposed to a dictatorship, MPs will have to face their electorates in under a year’s time now and justify their behaviour if they want to be re-elected.

    It is for each MP to explain what they have done with the public money given to them to allow them to live in two places to do their job. A constituent emailed me recently to ask why I had claimed any second home allowance at all when so many people commute to London from South Bedfordshire. That is a very fair question and my answer is that when I leave the House of Commons around 11.00 pm on average two nights a week, it takes me about an hour and a half to get home. If I got to sleep by 1.15 pm, I would be doing well. My alarm would then go at 5.40 am to enable me to get the 6.46 am train from Luton airport parkway to get into the Commons again. I can not work well on that little sleep on a regular basis and I would give my constituents a poor service if I did.

    As I write this article at 7.30 pm in the Commons on Monday 11th May, I have another three and half hours to go before I can leave having voted on and spoken in the debate on the Equality Bill and having presented a petition to the House of Commons from over 3,000 of my constituents about local GP practices. My first meeting in London is at 7.00 am tomorrow morning, which would mean a much earlier train than the 6.46 am I usually catch. I make no complaint about the hours I work. Many of our servicemen and women or NHS staff work very long hours too. It is a huge privilege to do this job and I knew the hours were long before I was elected.

    My own situation is that I rent a box room in Stockwell. I used to use my second home allowance to pay the interest only on a mortgage. I have always told the local press this was the case, years before there was any requirement to do so. When my mortgage interest payments were lower, I was also reimbursed for some utility and council tax bills on my second home. I have not used the second home expenses to pay for food or furniture. My living away from home expenses will be much less this year and in the future. When I was first elected in 2001 the rules were that your London home was designated as your main home if you were ever a minister. On the basis that I might possibly be a minister I designated London as my main home and the only change I have made is to designate my constituency home as my main home when I was able to pay off my mortgage. This has had the effect of considerably reducing my living away from home claims which are now amongst the lowest of all MPs.

    Call me old fashioned but I have a problem with one issue.

    If an MP pays rent and claims that rent from the taxpayer, who is to say that property does not belong to a member of the MP’s family. In addition why should the taxpayer fund the cost of the mortgage for an MP to purchase a second home? (Irrespective of whether on the sale of that property CGT is payable).

    Furthermore I do not accept that an MP paying back thieved money becomes absolved from his/her crime. A shoplifter not only gives back the goods, they are required to pay a penance for that crime.

    Where is the penance Cameron?

    You don’t get my vote until restitiution is made. But I respect you for at least trying to sort out this mess. It is not leadership you are showing but common sense.

    Seriously you need to set an example or two with a few sackings. For that is what happens in the real world.

    Bon chance.

    Shouldnt we be able to make sggsstion as to how to save costs: Broadband deals abound, toner is very competitive and headed paper can be made easily in the office rather than outsourced. Pathetic
