MP's Expenses

[Rioja]

This one will be the next to resign in ignominy. A string of allegations as long as your arm plus new revelations that the taxpayer paid for her to have an extension on the house that taxpayers were already paying the mortgage on

 

Indeed, and today she has announced she will be stepping down at the next election, she still claims she has done nothing wrong though.

which contains no dates apart from the publication date, no amounts, no descriptions of items basically no useful information whatsoever

 

just some vague promise that after suitable editing these figures, dates and descriptions will one day be available, probably sometime after he's voted back into his 'safe seat' ministerial office at the next general election

 

I certainly doubt I'll be seeing them before then unless the Telegraph decides to publish them first

What i don't understand is why the mp's that are quitting are hanging round like a bad smell:confused: and not doing what the speaker did and leaving when parliament breaks up for the summer

[blurt]

Any of this lot who have taken the p*** with their expenses shouldn't be allowed to retire, they should be sacked so that they loose all entitlements. Haven't they had enough, about time the purse strings were cut.

OR

Treated like anybody else and arrested and tried for fraud or embezzelment or theft.

you,ll do for me top gun :thumbsup:

Esme - there are 9 buttons at the bottom of the explanatory text. each button allows you to download a pdf file of expense claims.

Good luck

said on the news this morning those mps that are "quitting" will get their yearly salary plus a "resettlement" hand out (ie:- another years wage) at least

 

WTF???

if i do wrong, i get sacked, i cant even claim dole for so long if its my fault.

even if i did get two years wage it'd only be what? £23.000? ish

 

its distgusting

 

even when they DO leave theyll be straight into either lunch speaking jobs or large company board rooms

 

so another massive wage plus the taxpayers money theyll still recieve
