MP expenses scandal is history – watchdog

MP expenses scandal is history – watchdog
THE DAYS of dodgy MPs’ expenses claims are over, Parliament’s sleaze watchdog said as the latest batch of claims was published.
MPs from the south cost taxpayers just over £1.5m last year, the annual figures showed.
There was a wide variety in the amounts paid out to each MP, from New Forest West Tory Des Swayne on £86,894 to Winchester Conservative Steve Brine on £142,083.
Southampton Labour duo Alan Whitehead and John Denham, who share a base in the city, cost taxpayers the most in office expenses with bills including staff wages of £123,081 and £127,329.
Chris Huhne (Eastleigh) and George Hollingbery (Meon Valley) did not claim accommodation expenses for a second home. Gosport MP Caroline Dinenage’s accommodation costs of £22,084 were the highest in the area.
Expenses are managed by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, which was set up in the wake of the 2009 scandal which saw MPs castigated for bizarre claims and “flipping” their second homes to maximise profit.
Sir Ian Kennedy, IPSA chairman, said expenses claims were now published every month following the “shocking” reports in 2009.
He said three things were clear from yesterday’s publication.
“First, the expenses scandal is behind us. Remember what it was like – report after report of MPs claiming for all sorts of things; ‘flipping’ homes; no system of scrutiny; and all this behind closed doors. That world is behind us. We have overhauled the system and the expenses scandal is clearly history.
“Second, MPs are keeping to the rules. Ninety-nine per cent of claims are within the new rules. So it isn’t just us doing our job – MPs are behaving responsibly and claiming within the rules.
“Third, we are talking about significant sums of money. We should be clear about this. We are publishing the details of £89m worth of costs and expenses – about the same likefor- like sum as last year.”
Sir Ian said people had to expect a cost if they wanted a service from MPs, pointing out that the majority of the outlay related to staffing offices.
He added: “If we want a good service from our MPs, we have to fund them. And if you don’t think you get a good service from your MP, the answer is not to withhold funding – it is to use your vote.”

Chris Grayling, who claimed for a second home 20 miles from his first, promoted within the Cabinet.
And Michael Mates, who seems to be profiting from his old second home arrangement and who is a good friend of Asil Nadir, is the Conservative candidate for Polcie Commisioner in Hampshire.
Tells you all you need to know, really.

If someone over claims on their benefit they will get screwed, fined or go to jail, these t0ssers are priceless & the British public are stupid enough to believe that it is indeed history!
WAKE UP BRITAIN!, these are all corrupt little turds who think they are above us all, weather they are local councilors or Prime ministers...they are all guilty of having their snouts in the trough.
Grow a spine people of Britain & stand up to these horrid odious little Hitlers!

I regret that ALL of them fail to mention that overall claims are up by some 26% OVER claimed 2010-11!
There is also a complete absence of any reference to the fact that an additional large increase in expenses/allowances 'fiddle money' was granted (VERY quietly)a few weeks BEFORE the Budget which affected the rest of the taxpaying citizen voters! this will mean( unless MPs employ an as yet unknown quality of 'financial abstinence!!!!) further increases next year!
Thus the claims for 2012-13 could well show an increase of over 35-40% over the base year 2010-11!
How many other taxpaying citizen voters, in this time of 'belt tightening' and 'austerity' and 'all lin this together' will have enjoyed 1 35-40% increase in income!
Or is it, perhaps, that anyone with 'MP' after their given name has a 'Get Out Of Austerity Free Card'!
I would humbly suggest!

There's a very fair system running here that rewards people for working but won't provide a 'Benefits' lifestyle for those who chose not to. Lot's of companies have relocated from the UK to these more favourable lands and they find a more willing workforce like the ones that come to the UK and take jobs from the locals. If some of these highly paid union officials explained that their members have responsibilities instead of demanding a steady stream of 'rights', they might be worth the ridiculous sums that they're paid but instead they are helping to destroy the employment opportunities that puts bread on their members tables. The evidence is all around you but you constantly refuse to accept it.

No names but they are not from the south, and you know the reason why. even the SWP has 1 or 2 members that belong to the Labour Party again from up north.
It takes time to get the message across, just look what happened in Greece the Real Socialist have gone from hand full of votes to being able to win the next general election, where people have slowly realise the Party thats been calling it self Socialist are not in reality they are Capitalist, and people swap there votes, The same could happen here in England where people who still think that Labour still repersents 40% Socialism in there economics and political policy, when in reality there is no Socialism in there policy or economics and have not been any for the last 25 years, and you got those that still believe that they can win back the Labour Party and return it to what it was, sooner or later these people realise and swap there vote, the same thing as started to happen in Spain also.
The Capitalist have taken over most the major political partys around the world.

You will claim to take from the rich and give to the poor but somehow it will end up in your own pockets.
You will never win anything with prehistoric politics and ideals.

have you ever heard of the Bilderberg meetings (its a far right wing group), its had that name now since 1945 but is much older, there are 2 circles to the Bilderberg group those that sit on the Committee (the inner circle) and do the agenda and the invites to the outter circle meetings and selects who gives the speaches and on what subject, One Labour MP who got the invite to the meeting but refuse to go was J. Smith at the same time N. Kinnoch was invited he went.
But I been reseaching this group since 1983 when I first heard Thatcher was invited to go and went in 1976 and again in 1978, I wondered what they was they all about.
They make for interesting reading, worth very while in finding out about them and there agenda, the EU, Amero and that south american union is all part of there agenda.

southy wrote:Yeh, of course they will!
Put the TUSC in control of government and there will be no more expenses that M.Thatcher interduce and wages will be cut in half
We believe you Peter!!!
How gullible do you think we are? Loon.
Even, Well if that is the real ex-councillor Peter Jenks will tell you what I told you We Will Do It cut the MP's and Lords Wages in half, we will do away with the Thatcher Expenses sheet and it will not get replace.
Big difference between the TUSC and all other Political Partys we will represent the majority and never the few.
You will claim to take from the rich and give to the poor but somehow it will end up in your own pockets.
You will never win anything with prehistoric politics and ideals.
Represent the majority? Absolute crud, all you'll do is look after yourselves because anyone who isn't on your side is somehow the enemy.
Socialism people only started think about it in the 1700's, and it was the late 1800's before any thing was writen down.
Its no accident Socialism got its name from Social reform.

Just because there are more right wing on this site than left wing, don't make the mistake that you are the majority because your not, your the minority.

Those who serve you food in supermarkets, sell you your clothes etc will most likely earn a lot less than £20k.

You must stop having these delusions; it does you and your cause no good at all.
You had a very limited education and have learn almost nothing since.
You may know more than most on rigging, but that’s the limit of your superiority over the others who post on this site.
