Expensegate II : Purnell’s Playboy Lifestyle at Our Expense
Purnell has been living the glam Soho life at our expense. In November 2008 he rented a plush flat in Soho for £2,500 a month (the landlord made a special condition that it was thoroughly cleaned throughout at the end of his tenancy). He buys most of his food at the fancy, ultra-expensive, Fresh and Wild organic deli. We pay for his TV subscription, cable TV (not sure what he watches). He is kept looking sharp courtesy of the taxpayer picking up his dry cleaning bills.
He spends his red box free evenings hanging out in Soho clubs – not trendy Polpo mind you- and getting so tired and emotional he loses his wallet and security pass.
In the past 
James Purnell has always been a bit shifty with his main residence claims – they tend to get flipped depending on what is the most rewarding in terms of expenses and capital gains dodges. He also got into a bit of trouble for leaving his old flat in a disgusting state. Purnell’s constituency “primary residence” (pictured here) looks like a dump – not that he is ever seen there. He clearly has decided to move up in the world. In the real world you would need to earn £50,000 before tax just to cover the rent on his playboy flat…
Morning, grubby little Taxpayer people.
You organised the auction of copy of the Hutton report signed by Campbell and Cherie, you complete and utter Hoon.

He is kept looking sharp
That’s not how I would describe him.
Sharp as a blancmange
The name’s Slob.James Slob.
Blancmange! Smashing
Nu Squalor
Welcome to NuLabour liberal elite, spending your money whilst working out how to tax you more through climate change.
Are you racist?
The little twerp.
What that boy needs is……
….an invitation to the next meeting of the WI where he will be….
A good spanking.
Simply kick his fraudulent head in.
Next!
Lousy troughing twat. In reality would need to earn way more than £50k if you wanted to eat etc. String the wanker up by the balls with the rest of the self-interested scumbags.
Not as bad as Ed Spheroids. Sponsored a match ball for a football team,then claimed it back on x’s.
Cheapskate trougher
Did you see the Nazi Balls on the front bench yesterday – like an illegal dog on acid,almost frothing at the mouth and continually talking obscenities during Osborne’s superb riposte to Darlings total bollocks.
I now listen to the PMQ’s with some decent headphones and you pick up the amount of talking that these scum MP’s continue all the time – if these were schoolchildren,they would be sent home.
Shoot the whole lot of ‘em.
You should have heard him trying to bully Peter Alan(?) on Radio 5, last night.
Worth a listen if you can find it.
Balls, the most arrogant and bullying of bully Brown’s henchmen.
Being a cheapskate is the least of his many crimes.
You may go.
But his fat, smirking, smug school bully demeanor will put an automatic cap on his political ambitions – the public could never stomach such an arrogant swaggering sack of cack in charge of the country, however many spinmeisters try to go to work on his “personality”.
Mr(s) BallScooper was hooting it’s way around the hacks yesterday. Not for the first time we all thought that a good hose down and scrub with carbolic and a bass broom might be better praparation for a day’s graft in the Mum of all Parliaments than simply rolling out of the pit and throwing on a slightly less crusty cardigan.
Vile people.
The talking during PMQs and opposition speeches so often now seen on the labour front benches is a classic example of denial: it’s like a child putting it’s fingers in its ears and singhing la la la la laaa when being told something it knows is right but does not want to hear.
We must never forget.
Never, in the field of sticking up two fingers at pensioners who fought for our freedom in the war and paid a lifetimes taxes, has such an evil deed been done to equal the Right Honourable Ed Balls claim for a poppy wreath at a remembrance service, paid for by those pensioners choosing between heating and eating this winter. The same noble man who likes to wear Nazi uniforms whilst gazing at other mens rear ends.
No Ed. The country shall never forget.
Privately educated Marxist Balls is a jerk.
We sponsored a football match? I don’t even like football….
At least he only went to a Grammar School unlike those Labour Toffs on the front bench who did the Private School thing. Not thick though, getting a first at Oxford in PPE. He really does look ever so smug in that picture.
Parnell went to RGS Guildford = a fee-paying private school.
A twat’s twat.
Understand that Gordo Ponzi is a dab hand at decorating summer houses in his spare time. I don’t mind paying for it. Well, it’s either that or him having to sleep with Sarah. Poor sod.
Have you seen the size of her legs, they’re like tree trunks. Shudder!
Sarah Brown really is an ugly hag bag
you are wrong
She is a FAG HAG
Hit it right on the head There Guido “playboy “lifestyle He plays with rent boys what a grubby troughing scum bag this is !
Good Morning
The Conservative Party believe that this gag should enable us to have an overall majority after the next General Election
Thank You
A platoon was marching in Helmand province when they came upon a Taliban insurgent, badly injured and unconscious. On the opposite side of the road was a British soldier in a similar but less serious state. The soldier was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the platoon commander asked the injured soldier what had happened.
The soldier reported, “I was moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road.
I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scum bag who got what he deserved, and he yelled back that Gordon Brown is a fat, good-for-nothing, left wing half-blind Jock, and Lord Mandelson is a cross-dressing power mad idiot.
So I said that Osama Bin Laden dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited lesbian. He retaliated by yelling, “Oh yeah? Well, so does Harriet Harman!”
“And, there we were, in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a bus hit us.”
er,we had this one LAST week Dave – this Copenhagen recycling crap is rubbing off on you (to use Brown’s own kind of language with Meddlesome).
At least Parnell had the guts to tell Gordon how crap he is. Unlike the rest of the Labour party.
Charles Stewart Parnell (27 June 1846 – 6 October 1891), nationalist political leader, land reform agitator, and the founder and leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party? What a premonition that was. Did he know who won the 1892 Derby?
Well there you have it!
While our soldiers lifeblood needlessly drains into Afghan sand, scum like James Purnell loots the treasury at will.
Happy to live of others sweat and blood.
Nobody cares
We care alright, but we’re powerless to stop it.
The same landlord must have rented him his last flat ! so knows what condition he left it in. Going of the photo it should read Flat to be thoroughly cleaned and with all doors still hung in the frames !
Missed the bastard!
Still, it only takes one!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/6772219/Gunman-arrested-outside-Tony-Blairs-home.html
The Telegraph report states that a passer-by found the gun and ammunition and handed it in to a policeman.
Presumably this passer-by is also now in police custody and facing 5 years of porridge for possessing a firearm?
Looking thru my MP’s expenses – James Arbuthnot – the c*unt who bought a chainsaw for £250 and two vases for £25 – this from a man who bought a £1.9M house without needing a mortgage.
This time he’s buying kerosene – £746.14 worth of the stuff in April 2008.
Now why can’t he just sprinkle that across the Commons and light the b’starsds up?
More Kerosene in May 2008 for £272
Tree surgeon March 2008; £2,749
Genius 4 Piece Garlic Peeling & Cutting Set for £43.56 from QVC homeshopping
House Insurance – £1,157 per year
B&Q Reading – B&Q Funkyglow – 2 x £5.98 (bright coloured paints)
Cleaning – March 2008 – £150 PER WEEK!!! £600 per month.
ProGrow/Wire Parts for gate/Sit-On Mower repairs – April 2008 – £1,295
Paint Summer House – £1,540
And then the grotty man simply ran out of claim money and couldn’t claim any more for fireplace building work and so on and on.
So,how has this all helped my family?
I am trying to save £8,000 per year to put my son through University – I have no job and this excrement is claiming for garlic sets and lawn mower repairs and enough kerosene to blow up the HofC – now THERE’S an idea,Guido>
Well, wouldn’t you? What else is there for an MP to do? Eat rubber-chicken dinners in horrible business hotels? Fob off whining constituents who have tedious and intractable problems? Make animal noises in the House? Occasionally be interviewed by some stuck-up media git with a list of trick questions? Troop loyally through the lobbies for some issue you neither understand nor agree with?
Would you want your obituary to say “Jobsworth had an uneventful career in the House but was valued as a hardworking local MP and was never proved to have stolen money from the tapayer”?
He increasingly resembles Les Dawson. Dawson was talented, and had some merit,though.
Dawson was self-supporting and not a drain on the public purse.
I remember the pictures of his old flat
It looked like a troop of drunken babbons had taken on the tenancy and then used the place to make “special interest ” DVDs for Germans.
He pisses and shits upon us in the same way that he pisses and shits upon his furniture.
To be an Mp you must have to be a person with
No morals No values No experience of Working in the real world
able to never directly answer a question
Lie whilst believing you are telling the truth
never admit you are wrong
Be as deceitful as possable and have no shame when stealing as much as you can off the people you pretend to represent
Convince people You know what is best for them even though you know it isn’t
Yes they are a rare breed (Thank God)
Is this an outing of sorts and does Purnell frequent Compton’s Tavern as run by Landlord Lady Compton.
My old mum spends her day wrapped in a blanket, sitting on the sofa, with the heating on low, worried that the gas bill will be more than she can pay.
Thankyou Westminster.
Then send her some money you tight bastard!
What’s so secret about the Bercow signature that it had to be blanked?
He’s got a tenant – Lucy Walker. Why doesn’t she contribute to the rent? Unless of course she’s a lazy parasite who sits around eating grapes and contributing nothing to the household budget.
Bastards46 do what I do and help pay your Mum’s heating bill to save her worrying and keep her warm over the winter months. It may leave you short of a bob or two but then she probably left herself short when she was bringing you up.
47 it is probably to hide the fact he signed with an X.
It’s a minor point but… you can’t have a rented somewhere to live recently, have you Guido? Having to have the place thoroughly cleaned when you move out is absolutely normal.
So the taxpayers have paid for his flat deposit? I wonder where the cash will go at the end of the lease?
Sadly this story is just another example where the New Labour mantra of “Do as we say, not as we do” seems to fit.
As James Purnell MP was recently named as a “Top guy and a mate” by Jon Cruddas MP for Dagenham I thought I would have a wee look at his expenses too (as a resident of Dagenham, and no great fan of our MP).
The first claim of £5626.61 on the list for the Dagenham MP, was for the cost of living in Kensington & Chelsea.
It left me wondering if the claim was wholly justified, exclusively and neccessary for Parliamentry duties representing a constituency 10 miles east of Westminster.
I am sure a detailed explaination of the reasons behind these expenses will be constructed but it just does not seem reasonable to me.
Perhaps it is neccessary for the dignity of a socialist MP, to have the trappings of success to project the right image, regardless of how he distances himself from constituents?

I got my moral compass and loo redecorated on expenses and my sincere thanks are due to hard working families.
Nice to be returning to this blog again, it has been ages since. Well this post that I have been waiting for so long. I need this information to finish my college assignment, as it is a similar topic to this post. Thanks you, great share.
