Ben Wallace MP, Tory shadow spokesman for Scotland, says…

Here kitty kitty!
She’s jumping after all the rats that have already gone?
She says she has done nothing wrong by screwing the taxpayer, I suppose as a Labour Minister she believes that because all of the fucking government ministers are shafting the golden goose for everything thats not bolted down. Where are the fucking police in this great expenses robbery?
Don’t forget Carolien Spellman. Maybe her nanny was using her gas!

£6k in gas bills for one year????
Is she running a cannabis factory?
@Plato It’s the pool dear lady, it is hard to keep it at a steady 25 degrees through the winter don’t you know.
6K of takpayers money to ensure a refreshing morning dip seems fair enough.
She’s leaving to spend more time with her alien.
Another one with her fingers in the Kitty.
What I don’t get is how Alistair Darling feels able to accept her resignation when he has done exactly the same thing.
I smell something fishy!
I have had enough of this silent war we seem to be fighting but yet appears to unite everyone I speak with>
WE ARE TIRED OF THE CURRENT CROP OF POLITICIANS AND WANT REAL CHANGE
There is only one answer and that is we must rid ourselves of this government by means of a revolution!
The revolution I suggest will be a British one but it involves getting out on the streets and proclaiming our DEEP dissatisfaction.
As a special constable I find it hard to suggest anarchy but I believe we are in desparate need of desparate action.
Would you be prepared to march on Westminster with the simple message?:
A NEW GOVERNMENT NOW!
If yes then please respond and let us set the Monday 22nd June as the date to meet at Whitehall to establish a movement to :
IMPEACH GORDON BROWN
IMPRISON PETER MANDELSON
DEVOLVE EUROPE
I’l be with you in spirit fella – good luck!
I think that is the best suggestion yet. I certainly would be prepared to take part.
Mike Parsons
What a Fat T–t I mean Cat, Kitty Cat. No wonder these lot dont want to pay Tax They know what the government wastes it on. I wonder what would happen if we had that attitude.
I reckon Colin Port will go too…… Here
fuck you can tell mcbride is back
yo guido and others mcbride still works for goverment
FFS Freddy he NEVER left.
that means brown lied to parliment
McBride is holed up in the south of France. He is probably no longer employed in his previous official capacity but I cannot imagine that he is not following events closely (you can get Sky down there) as well as dispensing advice like Old Mother Riley.

Quelle surprise, mais:
The BBC understands the MP’s accountants explicitly told her she could avoid capital gains tax if she followed a certain course of action and this letter is on her expenses file at the House of Commons.
I don’t see anything wrong with using the system. It’s the system that’s wrong, not necessarily the MP’s.
MP’s are wrong if they deliberately set out to swindle. Not if, when they consult their accountant they are told do this or that.
This is starting to turn into a witch hunt rather than a goading of the real trough-seekers.
OK, sense aside – Guido please go after that lamer Derek whathisname again sometime soon. I despise the man.
Shit – you’ve got the same IP address as I have!!
Get out of my router!
The riposte to that is they don’t HAVE to do what their accountants advise them, especially (as in this case) if it’s tax avoidance — something that Government agencies such as HMRC wage incessant battle against.
Another numpty happy to opine on something over which they know very little. What Usher and tens of other MPs did is not only not avoidance (even by HMRC’s somewhat dubious interpretation) but was exactly what HMRC’s own published manuals specifically say can be done in her circumstances (and, indeed, the circumstances of any citizen who is fortunate enough to have two, or more, homes).
At some point soon, one hopes the agenda may move on from people’s attention being pointlessly directed at the lawful non payment of tax on a profit and start, instead, to be directed at the profit itself. The prperty was paid for by the public, so why should the public not have the profit. All of it.
It’s good to see that at least one Treasury Minister understands the fucked-up over-complex tax system McBroon inflicted on us.
MISS USHER IS ALSO INVOLVED WITH BARONESS UDDIN

Still no arrests Ah Ah!! Well at least we know they are all above the Law now.
Another one goes!!
Resignation statement said she has “done nothing wrong” but “do not want to cause the government any embarassment”.
Obviously something else there shouldn’t be in the expenses coming tomorrow :-)
Also resigning as MP for Burnley at next election.
The thieving slut is standing down as an MP also?
Double fuckadoo
Big problem though – is there one person in the 60 million in the UK who would willingly go to Burnley to become MP?
I would not go to Burnley period
I might, if I can stay out of the funny farm.
One of Nick Griffin’s cυnts – for once I’m pleased to see an MP staying on until the election, a by-election now would undoubtedly let in the unmentionables
Why do you need to go to the constituency? Malik doesn’t. Gordo doesn’t. McNulty isn’t even sure where his is.
Do these hoons ever have time to do any work. I wish I was paid to make a career of screwing my company and grabbing everything I could on expenses.Even to the extent of getting accountants (on expenses) to ensure I pay no taxes.
At least the wouldn’t rip the tax payer off Steve
OH FUCK – DT said that she flipped the second home designation for ONE MONTH, the month she SOLD the house!!!!!
Only possible reason for doing this is to avoid 17 grand of 40% CGT.
This from the TREASURY minister!!!!
Alistair Campbell territory..he’ll do it!!
No-one needs to come to Burnley to do that. A local man called Gordon Birtwistle will do the job.
Ding dong the witch is dead….!
She’s resigning as MP for Burnley btw because she’s going to lose the seat at the next election; quite an achievement for a Labour MP to lose Burnley!!!!
Nobody in Burnley likes her, she’s a waste of fcuking time quite frankly!
Another One Bites The Dust
She is standing down as she would not have prayer of getting back in after this. Go now luv and lets see what happens in a by-election. She will get a golden goodbye and shaft the taxpayer again. I want these troughers out now whichever party they are from and let get a clean bill of health in the HOC.
Another one bites the dust.

What next for Malik? Surely he’s just as much of an embarrassment?
But she won’t attract votes based on ethnicity, will she?
She was only there as window dressing.
She was only there to (1) stop Malik getting in (2) stop the local deadbeats within the Labour Parrty getting in (3) to reward her for her efforts as a Labour Party apparatchik.
Better off without her…
A cell with his constituent friends, Karen Matthew & Craig Meehan perhaps!!
Maybe she was sacked because she was shredded on 5 Live this afternoon. You would have resigned out of embarassment as well! Made to look a fool by the BBC…. she should hang her head in shame.
was it aboout expenses? is she a flipper?
got it from chronic last thread. she was the roof one.
ceiling
glass?
But what I dont understand is on receipt of this grasping letter why didnt the Fees office not tell her to sling her hook and not be so fucking silly?
Who was in charge of this shambles of an office ? Why are they not resigning as well ?
Sort of NewGirl
The records reveal that Miss Ussher, the MP for Burnley, contacted the Commons fees office within 12 months of being elected, with a detailed programme of work for the property she had already lived in for five years.
She wrote: “I am writing for guidance as to whether a number of essential repairs can be claimed under the Additional Costs Allowance.
“The basic situation is that this house was relatively cheap to purchase but requires quite a lot of work.”
She then listed 12 repairs which she hoped to have carried out on the taxpayer, including a bathroom which did not “function” and “peeling” walls in the shower room.”
“The plumbing in the entire house is strange,” she wrote, “There are pipes that are not used. Can we get them removed using the ACA? The electrics are also odd … I am not proposing a complete rewiring but would the ACA pay for it to be made child-safe.
“Most of the ceilings have Artex coverings. Three-dimensional swirls. It could be a matter of taste, but this counts as ‘dilapidations’ in my book! Can the ACA pay for the ceilings to be plastered over and repainted?”
The MP went on to ask whether she could have her “rotten” and “draughty” sash window frames replaced, adding that “the law now requires these to be double glazed”. She also wanted a “damp patch in the kitchen” to be “sorted out,” a “grimy” stair carpet replaced and repainting to the walls.
As the previous owners of the house had “reduced the size of the arch between the ground floor front and back rooms,” Miss Ussher asked whether this could be restored to its original state.
She went on: “Generally, there are gaps in terms of our furniture, white goods etc. And some of the windows require curtains and/blinds. I am presuming that if I just go to John Lewis and purchase non-antiques that this will be acceptable.”
MPs’ expenses: minister Kitty Ussher used allowances for £20,000 house make-over
She is also the treasury official who was leaking to Gordon when he was Shadow Chancellor, wasn’t she?
We’ve got a Government that doesn’t function. Any chance we can claim for that?
DB, if it doesn’t function, I’m sure we can claim for a new one on expenses ;-)
Her main role was to sit next to Yvette Cooper at treasury briefings so that Yvette’s odd face looked a lot less strange next to kitty’s plug ugg.
We have a double claim as it’s also uglier than an artex ceiling.
“Three-dimensional swirls” WTF????
…..and just at the point you think it really could not get any worse.
Whaddya mean “sort of NewGirl”?!
You’ve been around a while, so you’re only ’sort of’ new?
Fair point DB! As Thick as keeps pointing out….! :-)
Think Bill means Ussher is the New Girl?
There’s only ONE NewGirl in the village Misog!

JOHN LEWIS SEEM TO HAVE A RUNNING SORE ACCOUNT WITH PARLIAMENT
I wonder if she ever wrote a letter that long about her constituents problems?
She was obviously living in a pig-sty for the period prior to her election.
How appropriate!
Can we get her madeover as the swirls on her face are offensive! A few slaps around the head would work very nicely. Can I do the slapping for FREE and I promise not to claim on ex’s.
The Fees Office has to presume that an MP is a lady or a gentleman, and as such would never stoop so low as to put in an expense for something they had no right to claim for. You can not therefore sack the Fees Office staffers – for a start they might release the rest of the truth about expenses to the Telegraph (all those ‘employees’ of the rt hon members etc.).
Will Simon Mayo manage to mention this on his show tomorrow? Or will 5Live prefer to major on troughing Tories and the travails of Roma’s in Northern Ireland?

Why was the accountant’s letter in with her expenses anyway? Did she claim for the cost of being told how to avoid tax on the profit on the house we paid for?
Expenses, expenses, expenses. Didn’t that used to ‘education, education,education’ ?
who was she anyway? what’s she troughed Guido?
New Girl: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8106193.stm
This is the cow who decided she didn’t like her swirly Artex ceilings and that we should pay to have them replaced
yo!
Was she having to look at the Artex whilst lying back and thinking of Gordon?
Treasury minister Kitty Ussher has quit the government after further questions were raised about her expenses.
Ms Ussher took the step amid reports she flipped the designation of her second home shortly before selling it in 2007, avoiding capital gains tax.
Ms Ussher denied she did anything wrong and said she was stepping aside to prevent the government embarrassment.
From the Beeb
Has she actually resigned, or is she just coasting until the next GE so that she can collect obscene amounts of cash in pension, lump sum etc?
Resigned as minister today, resigning as MP at the election.
Bit of an interesting seat, Burnley. A by-election there now would almost certainly let the unmentionables in for their first MP.
Some Do, Some Don’t. Some Will, Some Won’t.
I don’t even actually know what an Artex ceiling is…..should I admit that?
PMSL NewGirl. Think of the swirly and knobbly patterns. The difference between ceilings and walls is the Artex
http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=artex&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&aq=f&oq= for pictures if you’re still not sure ;-)
It’s horrible swirly textured polyfilla that they used to put on ceilings in the 1970s.
Now I’m proud I didn’t know….
My word. Perhaps many of us looked for and bought houses before “changing rooms” craze gripped the nation.
On the downside you had to traipse through crappy old houses with artex.
On the upside we made huge amounts of cash.
On the downside that cash came from uncontrolled borrowing that fugged up the economy.
SE: Good point forgot it was Burnley. Now that would make one hell of a by-election!! While the cats away the mice will play comes to mind!!
thanks. what I don’t understand is why some resign, and lots don’t..for apparently the same things…..presumably its a bruin favs thing…
Some have it in them to do the decent thing and avoid embarrasment to the government
Some need a bit of a push but eventually see sense
Some need a big push to avoid the sack
Some are sacked
Some are Shahid Malik
or even McTen% himself
She upset her electorate because they’re rather fond of their Artex ceilings. I feel the same way about my Artex ceilings – it’s a matter of good taste and dear
Kitty insulted their taste. As I say, insult my ceilings and you insult me!
The point about Artex was that it didn’t crack. It was fucking hideous but the gaps between the plasterboard didn’t appear (even with scimming and skimming).
Forget ceilings, it curtains for Kitty!
Artex is like the lighter regulation of the banks, if done lightly it can sufficiently disguise a bad ceiling and look good.
Mauled by Simon Mayo. I ask you.

Apparently she’s ‘done nothing wrong’.
Except get caught.
No, no I think you may have mis-heard.
Apparently she’s ‘not worth doing’.
It’s legal according to the DT commentary but the point is this: Labour tax on the basis of fairness meaning the ‘haves’ whose wealth should be fairly distributed by taxation to the have-nots. So all this troughing proves that ‘they’ don’t stand by their own stated ethics. They are robbing the poor and those who rely on support in thier own words and deeds, basically.
SMH: Totally agree with your point. That is why they will get a bloody nose at the next GE.

Listening to this prat on radio five dead ( see below link ) today I was laughing my head off –
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00l57n8/Simon_Mayo_17_06_2009/
Go to about twenty minutes in.
My particular favourite is her first sentance of “positions are changing all the time” when asked what she does.
She then carries on peddling the lies and lines from the bunker ad nauseum, yet, even lacky presenters of the BBC start challenging them as they know what is being said is utter lies, means the end must be nigh for this lot soon surely.
Maybe they know the end of the license fee is in sight, and they might want to keep the taxpaying half the population as subscribers?
Amazing how she was enjoying it immensely in the afternoon and had to resign for family reasons in the evening.
fucking lying Hoon.
Thanks for adding the link to the prog. Another ridiculous creature that I won’t be sorry to see the back of.
She can’t even say ‘ expenditure right (expendicksher), stupid air head!!!

Another one needs to bite the dust:
Tory Front Bencher, Caroline Spelman is once again under fire, 3 months after it was found she had breached the rules by meeting the costs of childminding from her Parliamentary staffing allowances.
She has pocketed £40 000 in cleaning expenses to run her £2million, 15 bedroom, second home – yet her husband Mark (accountant with the big 4) claimed it was his main home during his unsuccessful bid to become a Conservative MEP in this month’s European elections.
She was one of the highest claimants of all 646 MPs for bills. She has two x £2m homes in the UK and another home in Portugal.

“Ushering” in a new type of cabinet – last one out,give Brown the revolver and ask him to play Russian Roulette – include 6 bullets in the chamber.

Excellent one Bob.
Six bullets in the cylinder..a chamber is where each individual bullet goes.
He’d probably miss with all six, anyway.
I’ve just watched the ‘man with no name’ despatch a few baddies. I’d love to see him flip back his poncho in the Commons.
“Now, is that six ministers I’ve lost, or only five? Tell the truth, in all the excitement, I’ve kinda lost track myself. The question you have to ask yourself, is ‘do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, Chipmunk?’

Just listening to the Mayo show from this pm – what seems to be happening is that all these arsehole ministers (all with very limited brainpower) are being sent out to say;
“Tories are Mr 10% blah blah blah”
Then when the Mayo’s of this world DARE to ask the obvious and prod a little deeper,they are as lost as a rubber dinghy in a riptide – totally fucked.
It also shows that ALL MP’s need to get some kind of qualifications on basic finance before they enter the Commons.
Take a look at the recent article by Fraser Nelson in the Spectator
McLiar is so childish and deranged he intends to focus upon 10% cuts constantly from now until the election.
His expectation is that he can keep repeating this lie, but the media will get tired of rebutting it, just like happened with the ‘30 billion of Tory cuts’ campaign in ‘05.
He cannot stop lying even though he has a moral compass???, because New Labour is predicated on the stupidity of the British people
Not like he hasn’t got previous either……….
“hard-working families”
“started in America”
“No return to boom and bust”
“Middle of a global economic crisis”
I just switch off whenever the gobshite opens his mouth.
Don’t think that I’m not well qualified to make the odd financial gain in pursuit of my long term interests, you grubby little man
After the BNP won a County Council seat in her consitutuency, Kitty Ussher said:
“We have a very good and able prime minister to take us through this difficult time.”
(see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/8085392.stm)
So there you are – if she thinks that about the shambles McBroon, she’s either a lying hoon or thick as pigshit.
No that is being to kind to pigshit.
Kitty Kitty Bang Bang!
Jacqui Smith and hubbie are watching it as we speak – in their 14th home.
Usherly Shalacious!
Love that grobdj blog – short and sweet
MP for Burnley and what did the people decide in recent elections…..big BNP vote. She will be toast at the GE
Apparently she is not standing next time. BNP candidates are lucky to have a Labour Party that, by its policies, by its inability to control entry into Britain and by the unwholesomeness of many of its ministers, prepares the ground so well for Nick Griffin and his colleagues.
Burnley will probably go Lib Dem at the GE…local Lib Dem councillor is goiong to stand on a one issue platform-
Returning the town’s A&E unit…
A town of 70,000 with another 10-15,000 in the surrounding area having to travel 15 miles to Blackburn’s A&E unit which cannot even cope with the population of Blackburn & Rossendale so adding another borough’s population to the mix is a fcuking joke…
Especially as the only way in for ambulances is off a motorway which clogs up everyday at the only junction available and ambulances have been known to be stuck in traffic there for 20-30 minutes… Officially this has caused no unavoidable deaths but as paramedics cannot officially call a time of death all deaths occur at the hospital!!!!
So
“death by motorway”
is a fairly common entry on a death certificate in Burnley?
Think of how many will not go to the A&E for fear of catching MRSA. Kitty I hope you need treatment soon.
Yep the ONLY major town in England without its own A & E.
The NHS was told repeatedly that the resulting mess would
occur – it’s all about saving money. Labour doesn’t care if
you die on the M65.
Lib Dems will walk it.
Good point Fallen Angel. Of the seven county council seats in Burnley, six went LD, one to the party that must not be named.
It is Ussher not Usher
I thought ‘Kitty Ussher’ was another one of Mandy’s titles.
It’s the one he uses down Old Compton Street.
Oh yes, we all resign a good job when we’ve “done nothing wrong”.
Plus, I don’t wish to be mean-spirited, but she looks like a mutant. Is there some genetic damage caused by being a leftie?
It adds to their bitter, warped view of the world. Though the righties have a fairly limited gene pool too.
Interesting, the last point.
A completely unscientific and subjective piece of research into the relative attractiveness of women in politics carried out by me over the last few weeks reached the following conclusions:
Conservative – Elegant, poised, generally drop-dead gorgeous (OK – Ann Widdecombe is the exception that proves the rule, but there’s no doubting her intellectual capacity).
Lib Dem – Hmmm – rather variable. There was Morvah George (only a politician’s daughter, but I bent my rules and included her ‘cos she’s lovely) and there’s Shirley Williams….
Labour – Bags of spanners, with few exceptions.
Perhaps the girls could undertake a similar survey of political men?
Okay – but I may need therapy afterwards.
G&T therapy works for me!
Is that the same as beer goggles?
If you take enough therapy, it becomes immaterial….
Most decent male MPs are like David Beckham in reverse. Beckham would be fine if you just looked, didn’t have to listen…
That’s the decent ones, then. Dare I ask about the rest?
the rest? not in my worst nightmares…….
Besides, we ladies like a sense of humour. And lately we’ve been laughing at ‘em, not with ‘em.
If this isn’t government in meltdown then what is!! From Telegraph
Downing Street announced that Portsmouth North MP Sarah McCarthy-Fry was being moved to the Treasury to replace Ms Ussher, after less than a fortnight at the Department for Communities and Local Government, where she was given responsibility for local democracy and council finance in the recent reshuffle.
A No 10 spokesman said: “The Prime Minister has accepted the resignation of Kitty Ussher.
“Sarah McCarthy-Fry has been appointed as her replacement. A successor to Ms McCarthy-Fry will be announced in due course.”
The official cabinet photographer must be run off his feet! Poor sod!
and out of Film !
No – Jacqui Smith has plenty of film,thanks.
Council Finance? Surely Malik will now take over?
At some point GB will have to go into Whitehall with sandwich board to advertise ministerial posts there is no one left to fill these positions. At least no one with hlaf a brain! God the cupboard is looking pretty empty for numpty.
Is bRuin giving every MP a go at being a minister before they pick up their P45s?
Do we need all these ministers anyway, if they can be shuffled around so frequently?
I think she’s kind of cute. And her name is spelled “Ussher”
Kind of cute? Why do you think there are so few pictures of her?
You should have gone to SpecSavers
You think she’s WHAT??
Cute in the way that Morgan is cute, perhaps. More comments please as I can now see both at the same time.
(And now I’m imagining their lovechild).
Jonty Pryor.
And her replacement is even uglier!!!!
Gerald Kaufman in drag.
:)
That’s Millie Tant if I’m not mistaken.
She has changed her name. She used to be called Maureen Reese.
If ever there was a time for a McCarthyite witch hunt……
75 perhaps he meant ‘kind of c**t’.
The way this is Going Jonty Prior will be Home Secretary by the end of the week. Gordons Government of the unelected !
She’s unconventionally attractive maybe, but I stand by my first statement.
You, Sir, will be sober in the morning
But she will still be ugly
(apologies to Winston Churchill)
“She’s unconventionally attractive……”
Yeah, fucking ugly.
Well, I suppose you are entitled to your opinion. I’m more of a Lumley man myself.
The thing I didn’t know before viewing the video is that the McCartney-Fry woman represents Portsmouth North.
Portsmouth is a rough old town, and its roughest area by far is its northern end. It’s where the forefathers of the creators of our socialist paradise built enormous council estates after the war. Their residents distinguished themselves recently by rioting outside the house of a paediatrician in the mistaken belief that the word was foreign for kiddy-fiddler.
The local taste in MPs may reflect the educational system that helped to bring that misunderstanding about. We shall see.
Perhaps you mean “conventionally unattractive”.
Your right two s’s STUPID SHIT.
Is it not Pussy Ussher
Has anybody seen my ussher?
Roderick – whose house fell?
According tp Poe.
You’re thinking of Pussy Galore.
Pussy Gusher.
Had one once
like trying to drink from a burst water main
Don’t we all.
Poor kitty katkins stuck up a tree
Poor kitty katkins stuck up a twee.
O/T but I was astounded at the tale of financial incompetence on the part of the government and its biggest quango, the LSC set out on BBC radio 4 yesterday.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/file_on_4
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8101019.stm
Talk about keeping bad news under the radar. They’re talking about college funding cock ups in the billions, leaving half built and unbuilt colleges, the works. Fucking unbelievable. This level of incompetence you might expect in some benighted third world shit hole, not a supposedly mature industrial nation like the UK. Yes men and Labour Party incompetents running amok. On Ed Balls’ watch too.
To cap it all they’ve run out of money for Gordon Brown’s much puffed apprenticeships and skills spin. Pure pipe-dream stuff. Where the fuck have Dave and the Tories been with all this easy target shit knocking around? They ought to be making mincemeat of Nulab and its bought and paid for quangocracy on this.
How come heads havent rolled?
We need a general election now if only because we cannot afford to have these Nulab idiots and their mates anywhere near our money.
What Money ? Its all Gone !
We can’t have an election now. Dave doesn’t want one and UKIP are still fielding candidates.
…and Guido didn’t even put the cross hairs on her
O/T but why has Brown promoted someone from another department to her role?
Is it really buggins turn and you move around before going upwards? Is that why Mandy is so good? He constantly goes round and round, before moving up and then inevitably going down
It’s when he goes in that you have to worry.
…gives a whole new sense to ‘Buggins’ Turn’.
nope!
its when he goes down you really have to worry
reaches for mind bleach…
Hello Kitty! Goodbye Kitty!
Here kiity kitty kitty, here kitty kitty kitty – chop la guillotine!!!!
It sems that Labour are protecting some MPs and ministers whilst rejecting others for essentially the same misdemeanors. Why is the Chancellor still in his position? There is no honesty or integrity with this PM.
Kitty Ussher is going to be highlighted in tomorrow’s DT – so she has resigned.!!!
Question is what is DT going to reveal???
Also the important question is: Is Kitty resigning as a Minister or is she, as she should, if she is honorable, also esigning as an MP as well. ( we can only hope!!!!)
Gordon, is your judgement good???? 1st Malik – now Ussher????
Sounds like she’s another CGT avoider and flipper
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5562864/MPs-expenses-Junior-Treasury-minister-Kitty-Ussher-resigns.html
“Further disclosures about Miss Ussher’s tax affairs are due to be published by the Daily Telegraph later this evening.
“I did not do anything wrong. At all times my actions have been in line with HM Revenue and Customs guidance and based on the advice of a reputable firm of accountants who in turn were recommended to me by the House of Commons fees office. Neither have I abused the allowance system of the House of Commons in any way.”
No dear – just the taxpayer
Should the Fees Office be “recommending” firms of accountants?
Kitty Ussher MP
Became addicted to fine gravy
But it was the bills for lumpy Artex
That finally made her a minister (ex).
(With apologies to Edmund Clerihew Bentley)
The Member for Burnley, Miss Kitty Ussher,
Was a bit of a gusher.
No wonder her Artex ceiling
Was constantly peeling.
Very good.
Breaking News
Bloogers have no right of privacy apparently
Time for a fucking revolution me thinks
i’m facked then.
Awww poor me im so innocent of all wrongdoing im resigning.
The artexing was far too chavvy for Ms Ussher, pity its wrecked her career as one of bullying, hate filled, liar Brown’s, liars
HAHAHAHAHAHA
So that’s another bird pushed out of Government. Beckett, Hewitt, Blears, Flint, Ussher.
Sarah McCarthy-Fry is her replacement via a sideways move from the Department for Communities and Local Government. Wonder if her job will now be filled by another Lord…
Sarah McCarthy Fry claimed for a sewing box and a pair of tongs.
Thongs?
Mmmmm
Sorry!!!! I thought Beckett was making a bid for speaker????
Hello? Hello? Anybody home? McFly.
{taps on forehead}
Be careful Beckett could get back as Speaker. Please if there is a god lets not have this partisan horse face bitch anywhere near the chair. So angry can’t speak or type.
Another stupid Zanulabour feminazi promoted beyond her ability and now gone to oblivion with any luck!!!1
Kitty Ussher was chief economist of Britain in Europe, which campaigned for the euro, so perhaps she’ll end up in some cosy Kinnock-style job in Brussels, the last refuge of the scoundrel.
Chief economist ???- like ca*roline flint – who never read her briefs – because she couldn’t understand their complexity ???
Flint was too busy flashing her briefs to do much else.
In less civilised times, we’d have tarred and feathered her. Might I suggest Artexing her instead?
That would be a bit cruel; we’d have to get her plastered first.
dr feelgood
let me help you on with your coat
Sorry, but might need a second coat.
You should see how her (near) namesake Keily Ussher is revered in Lismore, Ireland…
Just watching this :
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4943675105275097719
actually on channel 200 now but this is youtube version.
Makes a point about the total control of public inquiries under the Inquiries Act 2005 by relevant minister – would it not be worthwhile to hold a parallel inquiry to the Iraq inquiry – would obviously need to be chaired by an interesting, trustworthy and newsworthy person – over to you Guido.
Disgusting. Brian Binley Disgusting. Devine, Osborne, ALL of the troughing bastards. ANd not a single party serious about electoral reform. Shite.
Fisssssst
10% of the Cabinet are actually elected
OK. Kitty Ussher has effected a £17,000 tax dodge which DT is just about to expose.
Is she resigning as a minister only or as an mp as well??
Gordon?? Why have you re-appointed her as a minister into your government during your last reshuffle.
Malik and now this? Gordon’s Poor judgement again??
See 41 above
Er……a nutter by definition doesn’t have any judgement…….they’re just, you know, like, totally mental.
Well, what if you are a nutter in your spare time?
McTwat doesn’t have any spare time….apparently he’s always getting on with the job………of screwing the country over.
10% of Browns decisions are not a total catastrophe and 10% are just wrong.
@nell
She’s announced that she’s not going to stand for re-election.
or she is not going to sit on an erection.
Judging by her tummy bump,I think she must have done so a while back.
She cannot stand because she will be in jail,DT have got her banged to rights.
Sorry but I bet Revenues and Customs don’t even attempt to investigate her !!!
You or I do that and we would be in jail pronto -
If she gets away with this then we can all do it. Every time we want to sell our second or third property we suddenly declare it our “main residence” thereby avoiding capital gains tax on any profit. After it is sold then the next property up for sale becomes the “main residence”.
To me that is a criminal attempt at tax evasion. She can’t blame her tax advisors – she signs the declaration on the tax return – it is in her name.
These people seem to think that they are above the law.
If I tried that mallarkey on with the taxman I know precisely what would happen.
If she can prove it. Common law??
She looks like Yvette Coopers tranny twin
Even more butch than Ruth Ive sucked a Milliband cock Kelly
She looks like Martin Clunes in lipstick. Ministers Behaving Badly?
Yummy.
Brown’s Police deliberately target people they know are innocent. And it’s “here, Kitty, Kitty” as Kitty Usher resigns in a new expensesgate scandal!
(Or should that be NOT here, Kitty, Kitty?)
Is “artexing the ceilings” a polite expression for the white powder habit so beloved of certain shadow cabinet members?
or is what happens when you have a wank while lying on your back.
yawns…………zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Avoiding capital gains tax. Kitty now wants to spend time with her kittens.
mmmm……. or maybe she wants to spend more time with her pussy?
Her fellow inmates will be spending more time with her pussy.
W.W.
She is the daughter of the manx
EVADING capital gains tax. Avoiding tax is perfectly legitimate; evading is not.
U;timately it is up to the taxman to decide which is which not the tax payer even if she is an MP.
Cue loud rendition of ‘Another One Bites the Dust’…
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
There once was an Ussher called Kitty
(Who some on this blog think is pretty!)
Had her hand in the till
Now her bowels are ill
So the litter, for Kitty, is shitty
yes pretty fucking ugly.
Vet had a hand in this kitty
she looks kind of like Ruth Kelly’s ugly sister…
“….she looks kind of like Ruth Kelly’s ugly sisters dog…”
If she had a dog it would be a Pug.
She’s a definite three bagger.
One to go over her head, one to go over your head and one to be sick in afterwards.
Brown won’t call a GE until the Lisbon Treaty has been ratified. He probably has a promise from the eu mafia re his post GE future.
We know!
OMG!! Piers is still here.
I wonder what he thinks about Kitty????
He’d give her a NO and so she won’t be going through to the next round.
Look, you want me to say he’s thinking about Pussy don’t you?………..But I’m not saying it.
And another one gone
Another one bites the dust!
so is this mc mental distracting hoping to cover the fact that he just cant do the math and that nasty mr 10% has a calculator it just aint fair cos he can do sums better
OH FUCK – DT said that she flipped the second home designation for ONE MONTH, the month she SOLD the house!!!!!
Only possible reason for doing this is to avoid 17 grand of 40% CGT.
This from the TREASURY minister!!!! No wonder she had to go
Well. Of course. That is what you would expect.!!
The issue here is why is Brown not shedding his ministers before they are being exposed in the natonal media????
10%+10%+10%+10%=40%
A Burnley by-election would almost certainly not let the BNP in. They polled under 20%, third in the locals and fifth in the Euros. In the Euros their vote fell as a %age compared to 2004. Even the county seat they won was only a narrow victory on a pretty even 4 way split.
All the expenses are published tomorrow. Should be fun. Chances are we will be able to spot things that look dodgy, contact the Daily Telegraph who of course have the unedited versions.
I expect to see more MPs resign this week.
couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of cυnts :-)
Hoon phones the BBC complaining about getting a mention on the 10 o’clock news.
Still a Hoon then.
I wonder which house he was ringing from, 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th.10% of all homes are owned by Hoon the Hoon.
It’s the government’s scheme to prop up the housing market – subsidise thousands of homes for MPs.
It’s a Scottish war against England. Once all these Scots waste all our money and leave the country bankrupt, they’ll piss off back to Scotland. It’s a plot.
To Right those evil bastard Scots Mandleson,Ball-Cooper, Smith, Blunket, Prestcot,Hoon,McNulty, Milliband, Harman, Johnston, …..send them home eh !
well, they have been stained by the son of the manse…?????
I can say this now that I’m free, I’m FREE
This thing from the Lancashire Telegraph a few months ago sort of gives the lie to her statement.
I can’t believe she was born in the same year and in the same town as me. Public school and Oxford for her, niece of Peter Bottomley and sends her kids to school in Westminster. Now a tax evading liar. The black
sheepcat of the family, clearly.A sad loss to Burnley and to politics, then.
Er…
Where did you get that photo for your blog?
Which one? The alien and his mum?
yep!
They look like the family The Jeremy Kyle Show rejected as being too weird!!
lmao – yeah. We’re into Roswell territory with this one. The truth is out there.
Due to her low IQ (thinking she could get away with blatant tax avoidance) her child should be taken into care.
This is rather like me standing at the gates of heaven (or it may be hell) and saying;
“well I did aim to die a while back”……
You’ll all love this.
Paul Waugh speculating Alastair Campbell could take Kitty’s seat:
http://waugh.standard.co.uk/2009/06/will-ali-campbell-be-burnleys-next-mp.html
An end to the politics of spin…
That it then, I’m off, see you Tehran!
The receipts are published tomorrow so let’s hope lots more go!
Is there any truth in the Rumour that Gordo is waiting to see who wins this Years Big Brother before appointing a new Home Secretary. Instant elevation to the Lords and Bobs yer uncle !
Jim Devines bookcase responsible for destruction of 10% of the rain forrests !
all quiet on Mad Nad’s promise to sue McBride. Anyone got any idea why?
The lawyer wanted 10% of the settlement.
Gordo only answers 10% of all questions put to him at PMQ’s directly.
Grauniad says she is “sacked”. Al Ja-Beeba says she resigned.
Someone is not on message and will lose privileges for this outrage – the Dark Lord will see to that…
Obama has got a Fly for your hat.
Is it true the fly was named Gordon ?
Fondelbottom is the quickest with flies.
Sounds like she was told to resign; i.e. sacked.
Why they play these word games is beyond me.
We should pawn her at Cats Converters
We need to send this lot to the Royal Society for the Perpetuation of Cruelty to Arseoles
on sky they said she claimed her house in burnley was her second home but then when it sold she paid an accountant to incert a part in her accounts that for one month when she sold it that it was her first home thus avoiding CGT now lets see why Darling employed accountants maybe the same one ?
I used to enjoy visiting here…. now half the readership is clinically insane…
Rubbish its at least 10 %
Here have a medal and there is a pigeon shitting on your head.
The other half are not schizos how dare you you say we are
you can still be an MP if you are clinically insane according to some spin doctors.
Sorry – are you referring to your visit to Brown’s press conference’s?
There’s only one person insane at those meetings…..
what about those who contribute then??
Statistics are not your strong point. I make it nearer 90%
Ironic init
Gordon’s Tax & Spend policy is cutting a swathe through New Labour tax avoiders.
Is this the “big clunking fist” that Tony was referring to?
Free the English ™
Jim Devine is apparently furious at being de-selected and is threatening an early by-election according to the Guardian.
Let the Games begin !
He really should SHELVE any further ideas of being an MP – he has about 60 metres of the fucking stuff
Those who earn more should pay more, although that obviously does not apply to me.
Of course not – she didn’t earn it!
“I would now like you to work for a whole month without pay” – Irish MD of BA,who earns £60K per MONTH.
FUCK OFF Hoon
Perhaps he could lead by example seeing as our MPs cannot.
I was educated on a free place at the independent St Paul’s Girls’ School, and Balliol College, Oxford, where I read PPE, and Birkbeck College, London, where I took a MSc in Economics. Prior to my election in 2005 I worked as chief economist for Britain in Europe and as an economist at the Economist Intelligence Unit and the Centre for European Reform. In addition I have worked as secretary to Paul Boateng and as researcher to MPs Martin O’Neill, Kim Howells and Adam Ingram. In 2001 I was appointed as special adviser to Patricia Hewitt in the Department of Trade and Industry. I served as a councillor in the London Borough of Lambeth for Vassall ward from 1998 to 2002 where she chaired the finance and environment scrutiny committees.
As you can see I have the right credentials to carry on as the MP for Burnley and Padiham…solid Labour credentials..no proper job, no industrial and business experience, just good solid troughing off the long suffering taxpayer!!
Another one bites the dust.
Love it . Wonderful.
Fabulous end to a tedious day.
Well done the Telegraph. Now can you nail my lying thieving MP?
lying thieving MP……… you will have to narrow the parameters,
darling has now got to go brown will have to get rid !
even Captain Mainwaring King stuck the boot in.
If 7 ministers have resigned from a Cabinet surely this level of disaster warrants, even DEMANDS, the calling of a general election?
Or is Gordon Brown a man of no principles whatsoever?
you have answered your own question.
Mc Mental has dug him self a large hole by surrounding himself with the top troughers in his new cabinet !the jurno on sky said this is the biggest story of his political career he said of Ussher “you can’t have a minister in the treasury that has avoided paying CGT ” so how can darling stay in his job having done it “four times” ?ROUND TWO BEGINS ! now pass me a bucket to catch all this drool !
Not quite. Broon is not a man with no principles whatsoever. He (like Bliar before him) has two:
* I am right
* It is not my fault
And another one or two, perhaps?
* Now I’ve finally made it to PM they’ll have to kill me to get me away from all the POWER!!!
* To paraphrase the old song: ‘The working class can kiss my arse, I’ve got the PM’s job at last.’
* I now realise I’m useless at this job, but I can’t admit it and become the second Labour PM in a row never to win an election.
* Sod the country, my pension and gratuity are growing every day I hang on.
* Cameron’s so pathetic that all I need is a small uplift in the economy to present NuLab as having brought the country through the recession and win the next election.***
(*** See Paul Krugman, Nobel-winning American economist, who thinks this is a real possibility.)
A bit off target I know but with reference to how the bbc is today, after Blair/campbell cleansed it, here is a great piece of journalism with regard to gilligan and the death of david Kelly. Do you remmber it all now? this might jog your memories. And remember Blair is now being touted as President of europe. God fucking help us all.

AUTUMN ELECTION.
The bastards are having a clear out to claim they’re holier than thou. Stinging from Cammy’s wrong footing them. I tell you, they leaked the expenses to get dirt ready for the election. One teeny weeny problem, the electorate loathe the bastards. Look at the poll on my miniscule blog!
This from DT
Over the past six weeks, The Daily Telegraph has disclosed how senior ministers to backbenchers have systematically milked the expenses system.
This Saturday, this newspaper will publish a special supplement exposing the complete expense files of each MP. The claims detailed are expected to increase pressure on the police, and Parliamentary watchdogs to investigate those MPs who are suspected of breaking the law. Although Labour and Conservative backbenchers have been disciplined in the wake of the expenses scandal, both Mr Brown and David Cameron have failed to take action against more senior members of their parties.
Could make life more interesting.
Will anyone go to jail or do community service?
Will anyone go to jail or do community service?
Isn’t Malik Minister for Community Service.
Isn’t Kitty Ussher the quarter-wit who was formerly chief economist for the absurd Britain in Europe EU propaganda outfit?
She told lies there and – for her reward – was parachuted into Burnley on an all-wimmin shortlist designed to keep out locals.
Some way for Labour to treat one of its most loyal towns. The town is not loyal any more.
Now we find she is the apparatchik we always knew.
What a comment on the idiots now running the Labour Party!
Twat
Do,do,do…………..another one bites the dust, and another one bites and another one bites, and another one bites the dust, becoming a familiar theme song for parliament.
First of all tax avoidance isnt illegal. A lot of people try to (legally) avoid paying tax and it is a perfectly rational way to behave.
Secondly, she definitely isnt ugly.
There are a lot of people more deserving of scorn than her in both sides of the house.
I just have to say how delighted I am that this odious woman has been found out and has left government. Despite the many compliments paid to her by the City media circles, Kitty Ussher is one of the most obnoxious women in government. She was the minister involved in schemes to help poor people ’save’ – she was party to the the new Social Security Act and Child Support and wanted to charge people interest on their Social Fund loan. She is arrogant in the extreme and carries the Brown line, word for word, everywhere she goes. Even yesterday she was talking on R5 after PMQs in the usual ‘Mr 10%’ drone about the Tories and how labour were not going to cut spending – the usual disingenious lines. I trougher through and through. Good riddance.
I second that the women is nothing more than a whore in the taxpayer expenses sense that is, no, on second thoughts the other sense to. Burnley is welcome to her and how the f*ck did she get elected by them in the first place. Total ffffing disgrace.
Why in the Guardian does it say
Brown was forced last night to sack Kitty Ussher as a junior Treasury minister in the face of evidence that she “flipped” her homes for a month to avoid paying thousands of pounds in capital gains tax
and then later in the same article
…oops pushed the wrong button
In her resignation letter
How can she resign if she was sacked?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jun/18/gordon-brown-sacks-kitty-ussher
So dim she included in her expenses claim the document from her accountant advising her:
The letter from Ussher’s accountant, dated 14 December 2006, made clear she was prepared to go to some lengths to avoid paying capital gains tax (CGT). It said: “I am enclosing a declaration to vary your previous main residence election for a period of one month to [your Burnley home] and then back to [your London home].
“The effect of varying the election is that [your Burnley home] will receive the final three years’ main residence exemption and the gain will be completely exempt from capital gains tax provided [your Burnley home] is sold before April 2007.”
So therefore the fees office knew she was avoiding CGT and still allowed the claim and didn’t flag it up to HMR&C
They are not even good at being bad!!!! These people are so called running the country I just despair at what is going on. Can N Korea please do a nuke test under 10 Downing Street please. We can then get the UN to make a resolution that it saved the people of the UK from Brown, so it was OK.
My latent male chauvenism is revealed – I’ve enjoyed all the rest of ‘em being brought to book, but now it’s Kitty (who I’ve always thought is quite cute) I feel a bit sorry for her. :-(
you’re a sad bastard
Yep. That’s the most irritating thing about it all.
The good news is that Kitty Ussher is joining Caroline Flint in my Girls of Parliament Escort Agency. I am hoping to make an announcement about Nadine Dorries for the benefit of all you MILF lovers soon.
All girls will do anal and water sports, but, no, Oaten, for the last fucking time, they will not do that. Please stop asking, you sick fuck.
Nice one Peter.
Any chance you could get Julia Goldsworthy to join up?
I’m surprised she resigned, would she really have been found out from the expenses list released today?
She’s a woman, she goes. Malik isn’t, he doesn’t.
Gordon Brown has it covered.
I think you’ll find the five Lib Dem County Council gains from Labour in Burnley, the fact the Lib Dems have the Council and that the leader of the Council and someone who’s one of the best performing candidates in the North West or indeed the Country has had something to do with it.
