Surely, it just points out how principled Cummings is. He is prepared to vote against something from which he can profit

or something

If subsidies and grants are legitimately available why on earth wouldn't you take them? Not to mention as co-owner he probably doesn't have the final say on it anyway.

And this has been going on for a decade but only now does anyone want to write about it, just when DC happens to be in the news?

You sound like a chav parent defending their delinquent child who is a serial criminal.

No, it's generally when anyone in politics does something that appears hypocritical (or could be twisted to appear as such).

It's like when someone points out that Jeremy Corbyn has a house that's worth a lot of money.
Or that Kier Starmer owns a field that "could be worth £10million if he built 20 houses on it and sold them all"

So, it's not a conspiracy by the media against an unelected bureaucrat, but standard practice.
It's a bit snowflakey that it's only now that there are complaints - is it because it's DC that there's Wailing?

While we are/were in the EU I think it is entirely right that all Brits should claim what they are entitled to. Not to do so would increase our net payments even more. Our economy benefits from money received and spent in the UK.

But if a Romanian farmer gets a subsidy suddenly they are profiteers living off the UK taxpayers money

That is actually entirely true:

[Eirikur]

Why should he not get what other farmers get when we are still in the EU and still paying a lot more into it than we get back?

The only idiots are those that expect businesses and people to pass up free money offered to them on a platter.

Oi, just because someone's a brexiter, doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them being a blatant hypocrite at the same time.

There's one here, who voted to leave, who's already got himself an EU passport. He even yearns to leave the UK and live in the EU in the future. His missus thinks he's an embarassment but that's just her opinion.

[WTFH]

"Subsidy" or "Unelected bureaucrat salary"?
