Another Labour minister caught fiddling house expenses

Sky News

Seems he was claiming for 6 years on a property in Harrow belonging to his parents, while living in Central London.

He is the MP for Harrow - just a few miles, and 20 mins on the train from Central London, where he lived with his wife after moving out of his parents' home (just proves how out of touch he is...).


Edited: cos it was Sky, not Times!

On the news he has just put out a statement saying he has done nothing wrong and has acted within the rules.

This is the bit that really winds me up...

He may have well acted within the rules, but not within morality. This is a 'better than you' mentality.

So he claims that with the recent interest rate drops, he can now afford his mortgage on his Parliamentary salary..


Is this part of the reason for the current shyte we are in?

If they can't get it right, what hope do us lower scum stand.

Sack the sly fecker, make him pay back what he has wrongfully claimed, and a fine or prison for fraud

Was it the interest rate drops, or Jacqui Smith getting splashed all over the press which changed his mind
