    Fantastic stuff. Who were the two old duffers who gave apoplectic speeches afterwards where they were nearly crying.

    I love this. "We've all been on the rob and it's YOUR fault because YOU didn't do anything about it."

    Incidently, George Osbourne has quietly had to repay £400 he claimed for a chauffeur driven car to take him from some constituency piss-up in Cheshire back to London because he missed the last train. Haven't seen that one in the nationals (yet).


    At least that expense does bear some relation to his work though. He ranks rather lower in the rank of trough-diggers IMO.

      I remember that reported last week. No-one is innocent!

        Haven't seen anything about;

        Jaquie "If you have nothing to fear" Smith
        Harriet "court of public opinion" Harman Or
        Dawn "You're all permies and so not allowed expenses or dividends" Primarolo

        They would all be on my list regardless of how much ammo I had.

          I'm sure I've heard about the first two (apart from the porn films), but you're right about Dawn - her skeletons haven't been released from the cupboard yet.

          I'd just love it.. etc

            It is a legitimate expense if you miss your last train to grab a taxi home and charge it to the business. Many companies allow this.

              Brown has basically signalled that that obnoxious little hobbit Blears will be fired...so please PLEASE let the Torygraph discover that Primarolo has been equally corrupt.

                He is dithering though probably because he knows that she is a bad enemy to make. She should have been fired already and the fact that she hasn't is going to cost him what little credibility he had with the electorate.
