Sadiq Khan’s new part-time aide and full-time internet troll is to receive her City Hall income through a personal service company. Amy Lame, who has attacked Amazon and Boris Johnson over supposed tax avoidance, paid no income tax last year.

The Sunday Times reports Lame, real name Amy Caddle, will be paid her taxpayer-funded £35,000 salary for two days work a week via Amy Lame Ltd, allowing her to pay corporation tax rather than income tax despite being a public servant. Amy Lame Ltd is registered to an address in North London’s desirable Mecklenburgh Square, where a flat costs over a million quid. This appointment stinks – Lame is a completely unqualified z-list comedian who has been rewarded for her Labour fundraising with a fake job funded by the taxpayer. And despite her previous virtue signalling is now being allowed to take her salary in a highly tax efficient way…

Sadiq Khan has today appointed his new ‘Night Czar’ – Amy Lame will be paid £35,000 a year for working only 2.5 days a week. So who is she? Lame says the Tories are “scum“, accused David Cameron of using his “dead son as a pawn”, and once tweeted that George Osborne is a “c**t”. Why is Sadiq giving this woman thousands of pounds of taxpayers’ money?

UPDATE: Lame has also tweeted on several occasions ‘joking’ about her regret that the Queen is still alive:

Oh dear.
