Lord Lamont told ITV News…
“I think the PM is just human and Ed Balls is a pretty irritating person”
This is a first.
Who says Labour don’t have a sense of humour
Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful, independent, self-assured Princess happened upon a frog as she sat, contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.
The frog hopped into the Princess’ lap and said:
“Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome Prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young Prince that I am and then, my sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping in your castle with my mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so.”
That night, as the Princess dined sumptuously on lightly sauteed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled and thought to herself:
I don’t fucking think so.
Ben Bradshaw – what a smug, self loving, ex-BBC creep – a robotic, party line spouting, expenses loving Labour clone. I wish he would go stick his head up a dead dogs bum – good people of Exeter rise up and vote the creep out!
Anne Moffat still claiming the full £250 per month (£3000 per annum) petty cash mercilessly, come what may. But it is “all within the rules”. She should telling that to one of the majority of the population that have to chisel and scam just to get by…
Not yet had the pleasure of looking the rest of this stuff, but even a cursory glance reveals that this is going to be a huge sum of money. Multiplied by 646…
Odds Bodkins I shall be obliged if you will provide the link to my dear (expensive) MP’s expenses. Thanks.
Brace yourself…

Thanks. It’s not easy to get the info (for people like me!)
Hell of a lot of blocking off.
Only the honest bits, or less crooked are being shown.

How exactly does Anne Moffat MP (East Lothian) claim that ‘Air Bed Insurance’ and an Air Bed fall “wholly, necessarily, and exclusively” in the performance of Parliamentary duties? See page 17:

Dunno. But she is my MP, and has so far only given me mediocre responses to issues I have previously raised. I am going to on to her like a boil on the arse over this one.
If I read this right, the MP for West Ham is still claiming second home allowance. Last I checked, West Ham was not located on the Orkneys, but a mere 20 minutes by Tube from Westminster. Is it beyond the wit of the Fees Office to have accounts with a couple of taxi firms so that local MPs can get home after late night sittings? £1,354.17 a month would cover a lot of taxi fares.
Kerry McCarthy claiming £400 quid per month for food FFS
Did you notice that our leader is addressed “The Rt Hon Dr Gordon Brown”. Dr Brown? Where did that come from?
He wrote a PhD thesis on troughing. It was all about attending bring-a-bottle parties with a carrier bag full of bricks. Apparently most people are so stupid they are easily taken in by this. A lesson he has never forgotten.
John maples (Stratford upon avon) is still claiming his Oxfordshire mansion is his second home and that his club in Lodon is his first home.
I amy mention that when he doorsteps me next spring!
