The Labour Party Owes the Taxpayer £43,000
There’s an interesting anomaly in the election spending data that was published today. No prizes for guessing that the Tories outspent Labour 2:1, but it’s even bleaker for the reds. It seems that Labour were so broke they ended up with a government funded overdraft. Victoria Street haven’t paid six invoices, five of which are for reimbursement for Ministers use of their government cars for party political purposes:
It seems it was not realised until September that Labour had only paid for a fraction of their party political use of ministerial cars. It’s a little odd that the use of the cars wasn’t declared at the time, were Labour using ministerial cars without admitting they were going to campaign events? Given their casual disregard for taxpayers money in office it wouldn’t really come as a surprise. The £43,000 black-hole needs to be cleared though, not that it will dent the other one they left.

Put it on the taxpayers tab.
MPs’ expenses £3.1m after election
MPs were paid £3.1 million in expenses in the first three and a half months after the general election, details published by a watchdog have shown.
A breakdown of 22,000 claims submitted between May 7 and August 31 by 576 out of the 650 MPs was released by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa).
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23903030-mps-expenses-pound-31m-after-election.do
18,500 quid a year each in expenses?
Seems a little on the high side to me.
I checked my MP (Lindsay Hoyle, Chorley CC) and I thought his where pretty reasonable. Mainly travel, a couple of things like Printer Toner Cartridge(s) £345, but most of it is topping up first class travel on train.
Declared expenses. All their lovely perks take it far, far higher than that.
Is there a link to the list, please?
You are wrong Guido. Labour does not owe the Taxpayer £43,000.
Labour has stolen £43,000 from the Taxpayer.
Sorry Sir!
but your credit is no longer valid here

Why does people who do not pay taxes in this country give money to Tory party?
Because if we gave it to Labour the clueless tw@ts would just p1ss it away
Good to know your reason.
Does tax heavens have drug dealers, arm smugglers, terrorist, corrupt politicians, etc money as well?
Do these people or the banks that keeps these people’s money also give money to a certain political party?
Lord Paul???
Because they are not stupid
Next.
I wondered that when I watched the Mandy advert on TV. He seemed to be touring around London on Labour party business in a ministerial car.
Has anyone checked this out?
I’ll take a cheque, though i’ll want some security before it clears….
I think it will go on the co-op credit card…
A backbench motion condemning the “unnecessarily high costs and inadequacies” of the new system and calling for a “simpler” alternative will be debated later.
Ipsa has tried to dampen criticism by declining to publish rejected claims – reported to number 1,574 so far – until the MPs and staff have got more used to the system.
Prime Minister David Cameron claimed £2,581.13, including £2,408.75 for an annual subscription to the Parliamentary Resources Unit, which conducts research for mainly Conservative MPs. Mr Cameron made six further claims, all for stationery. They included £94 on House of Commons headed A4 paper.
Labour leader Ed Miliband claimed £2.066.27, including for three payments of £550 for monthly rent on accommodation. He also paid an “office maintenance charge” of £295.84 and two office cleaning bills of £19.09. Mr Miliband spent £82.25 on a photocopier toner cartridge.
£94 on Commons headed paper ??? nowt wrong with that .
The commons sets the price ?
It was government business, they were going around making themselves unelectable for the good for the country!
lol
All that money still couldn’t buy Cameron a majority.
All that gerrymandering and theft still didn’t get Browneye a majority!
And not forgettings the block postal votings!
All that gerrymandering, all that postal vote fraud, all those billions of tax-payers money thrown away on vanity schemes in labour constituencies…
And Brown still got less votes than John Major in 1997!!!
Fewer !
Shouldnt they be in court on a winding up order like the football clubs over unpaid tax ?
Agreed, lets see the Authorities pursue them like they do everyone else.
Is it time to declare labour bankrupt? I do hope so.
Mummy darling, will you please come and wipe my botty
Actully dont Labour owe the taxpayer about 3 trillion pound ?
They couldn’t manage a kids party. FFS, the Left are all brain dead haters. Thats why they work for the puiblic sector where it doesn’t matter if you achieve or not. Shut the bastards down.

Stanley, dear. Would you like baked-beans with your grease this tea-time?
That’s made my day, that ‘as
Personally, I think the taxpayer gained great value from this use of a ministerial car:
It really beggars belief how Dave managed to nearly lose the election.
Just imagine if the microphone was off, or Mrs. Duffy went shopping some other time.
He did lose it.
If he won it he wouldn’t be relying on Nick Clegg to keep him PM.
Too many twats vote for Labour; stoodents and the like.
OT
Green Fascism on the rise in Germany again.
You’ll need a few people who pose an ethical elite. At the end, you will probably have a {undemocratic} minority to “solve” problems that have a causal distance as with climate change.

If you’re a white, rightwing capitalist he would.

Dear Prudence. Must remember to plug your black hole sometime.
Bet on Russia to win the 2018 and they will get the money back.
Commie bastards. Buy them each a Zil.
Did Hazel Blears ever pay the check to HMRC ?
No. She shredded it with her teeth and used it to line her nest.
Golden Shot.
“Check”? FFS! Are you American?
These scrounging fuckers pay for nothing !
everything is on expences
a free house
free gas
free electric
free food
free travel
free holidays(fact finding missions)
free holtels to shag your aid’s in (male or sometimes even female)
free pensions (massive)
free furniture
free electrical goods free staff
even free bog paper to wipe their crooked little arse’s on
and when it comes to it the salary they (i wont say earn) get will go into the bank untouched
not even touching on the subsidised bars and restaurants that they feel they deserve !
They are self employed and not salaried.
sticking up for them Guido ?
If Osborne is a lightweight then I’m a clumpweight.
Eds a blank paperweight
I’m an elliot morley
That reminds me.
Someone said to me that Gordon Brown didn’t have the social graces of a pig.
I stuck up for him and said that he did.
Which is the one with the birdshite in his hair?
Another first for the Tories, a big round of applause for Keith Simpson MP
MPs were paid £3.1m in expenses during the first three and a half months after the general election.
The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority – which runs the new system – has published 22,000 claims paid out between 7 May and 31 August.
The highest total paid to an MP was £20,752 to Tory Keith Simpson. Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn had the lowest at £8.70.
When was the last time you saw your cock Greg…?
Jeremy Corbin MP ! Mmmm! Mmmm!
The Question on everybodys lip’s is ?

Hello Sailor
**If I was a rich man,

His brother makes a fortune from staring at the sun all day.
Ooo you are awful, but i like you
are you Ian Beales cousin?
What about those who didn’t claim anything?
Its a fitting indictment of the Labour party.
No shame
No self respect
No respect for others
No cash and clueless
If you are looking for benefit scroungers look no further than Parliament…
Honest ! SHE DID !
Didn’t she make you drive her into town?
How about the £3m of our money the Right Honorable Ed Balls spent on a massage parlour and relaxation room for himself?
Speaking of which:
The way they have ended up owing money left right and centre that they can’t afford to repay has become synonymous with labour’s , now entrenched, image of financial incompetence hasn’t it?
The Co-op will bail them out.
So remember that next time you shop in a co-op store, travel agent or bank.
That’ll be why dividends at the co-op have fallen from 5p in the pound to 1p in the pound in recent years, they’re having to give increasing amounts of money to labour to try and stop it sinking.
I believe you !
LoL But it is true !
Tell us more, G
Some years ago i worked for a landlord who owned flats in Rochdale her grandson moved in to one of the flats a lad called Scot i think
she paid for a carpet to be fitted on the same day as i carried out some repairs
she waited till i finished and locked up as i was leaving she climbed in my vsa and said are you going down Bentley street ?
i said no !
she said well drop me off on your way down Bentley street then
it wont take you long
so i did and it wasn’t till i saw her on the box that i realised who she was
just to make sure the next day i drove straight to her house by memory
where allthe press and police were still camped out there were so many vehicles that i had to reverse back out of her avenue
IT’S TRUE !
So, are you saying she’s a pushy, tight-fisted bigot, then? Hmm. Could be some copy in this bombshell of a revelation.
Why won’t David Cameron accept my resignation ?
One U-turn at a time please
Will England Win It ?
Just wondered with all this global warming, in eight years time will it be too hot in spain to hold the world cup.
Will Spain even exsist ? Taken over by Brussels me thinks
Or England
Aye Lad gotta a point there , We will all sing ” Ode to Joy” as our National athem i fear .
Russia are the favourites now on the money markets.
Squeeky bum time ???
15 minutes until the wall to wall coverage becomes a wall to wall, ceiling to floor newsathon.
Did we win yet
Has anyone on the MSM ( Except guido ) running this story ?
What story? Where?
Yes the donations are drying up but Ed is planning a series of coordinated car boot sales which will fund an anti Thatcher poster campaign.
Nursey said thati am much better now and if i eat my sprouts

GET BACK IN BED, MR. BROWN ! I’ve told you before – you are too portly to be able to lick your own sprouts ! Only world-class athletes and yoga-bores ever manage to do it. **We’ve all tried it, ain’t we kids ??
)**
I’ll get my marigolds and we can wave Mr. Winky about while we watch The Sassenachs win another lucrative contract without your help.
Frankie, could we please have nice, neat links like this?
Links were clearly better under New Labour
This will scupper England’s chances.
I’m putting my mortgage on Russia winning the bid
“Gordon Brown
Best of luck to England today in the World Cup vote!
We did whatever the fuck we liked. We’re Labour and we do what we want. Fuck everyone else. We’re entitled.
I bet Labour have planned their dignified response in the event of England either winning or losing the World Cup bid. If we lose, they’ll say the government has failed the country. If we win, they’ll say Cameron pimped the country.
Might be a good chance to bury some bad news either way
We’re on the case.
I’ve lost my script.
Red Ed will dither for hours/days.
Aj Jabeeba won’t know what to do – expect an evening of Pathe reels on repeat…
24,000 quid for a month’s use of a car . . . !
they could have bought a car for that and . . .er
– maybe bought two cars
– buy one two and employ an out of work driver for a month
Yep! They still have to pay for the damage done to MY LIFE!
Just borrow more. It worked for me.
I’m relaunching my leadership today.
You do that eveyday,you silly boy in a mans world.
I normally issue Statutory Demand.
Payment follows pretty quickly.
Happy Christmas
I’ve done my bit for the bid by throwing a Nokia at my beard.
My beard is totally uncontollable.
ORDER ! John, darling. Do I scare you so much that I make you drop your r’s ??
They should gives it to Arab country! We demands World Cups in good holy country or we will put fatwas on your decadent heads! Allahu snackbar!
£24,223 to hire a car for a month looks a bit steep. You can hire a Roller with a chauffeur for about £500 a day.
You forget Sir W, this is the civil service negotiating the contract.
Probably a Rolls Royce or something like it. We can’t expect them to drive around in a bog-standard Mondeo, like a lot of people do. Oh no. They’re way above that.

gordon claimed more than £2500 in air fares between edinbugh and westminster , after he lost the election, in a period when he was seen in the HoC only once and that at a minor late night debate.
I wonder how many seats he bought for that.
Guido,
I would imagine that by now you have Assange warm and cosy in a Farmhouse somwhere in the Emerald Isle, but for God’s sake don’t leak the info
3.09pm and still no decision – GET ON WITH IT and put us all out of our feckin misery!!
COME ON RUSSIA
You complete and utter dolt Guido – the Labour Party would be breaking the law (Section 77 of PPERA) if it were to pay the invoices received from the Government as they were not submitted within 21 days of the elction campaign.
And who is responsible for not submitting the bills on time in accordance with the law – who was in charge 21 days after the election??
Perhaps Guido should apologise to the Labour Party for his false accusations – or at least give his black ops team a good kicking. If he wants a real story perhaps he should ask himself why the Tory expenditure totals appear a little light given how they vastly overspent the other parties.
Take the thieving ba$tards to court!
Seize their asets and throw them in jail
Seize their asets and throw them in the gas chambers
