observer Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Well it seems, our new representatives in Parliament have cost us ?3.1million in expenses since May - so no change. It appears one MP has had "the runs" since May, having spent ?85 on toilet paper, and another claimed ?1 for a pair of rubber gloves - or maybe it was the same MP, not wishing to wash his/her hands of the stench of corruption!

observer Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Precisely Diz, what's toilet paper got to do with doing their job, unless it's used to wipe their mouths after a speech? It's the petty avarice involved in some of these claims that speaks volumes about their motivation for politics. Clearly they havn't learnt a thing and are incapable of cleaning up their own house.

observer Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Interesting that the firm of independent auditors have refused to sign off on the MPs expenses for last year, due to a ?14million discrepency that can't be accounted for.

asperity Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Legislation to prevent the practice of disguised remuneration, which uses trusts to provide non-repayable tax free loans and offshore pension schemes to avoid tax, was included in the Finance Bill. With one minor clause. section 554E ( "specifically exempts members of the House of Commons and the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority from the new legislation in situations where they are actually caught by it" Making laws THEY don't have to abide by.
