    And how much did Labour MPs spend on the most expensive Apple devices they could get their hands on (on expenses, naturally).

  13. @Madie839

    Liz Truss can spend whatever she wants on lunch or anything else like anyone else as long as it is her own money.
    However it appears she along with countless other politicians and senior civil sevants can spend unlimited taxpayers money on whatever they want and this includes the complainant in this case AKA the Labour Party

    Luxe Lifestyles supplied PPE that was unusable in a £25m contract via a referral from a Government Minister. They have never submitted an account showing where all that money went.

    The hypocrisy of Liebour, they obviously are getting desperate, they certainly can't moan about the number of immigrants or the state of the economy caused by the unnecessary lockdowns, because they are in favour of both, they don't want the immigrants to be sent back and they wanted longer lockdowns, even grumbling when Johnson lifted the restrictions.

    How can you spend £1500 on lunch, if there's money to be made MPs will be first in the queue

  19. @ancietman

    They don't care its not their money. Its a disgrace.

    Mrs May has earned 1million pounds from the speaking circuit since getting sacked as PM and she still feels the need to bill the tax payer for lunch.

    when its not ur own money they spend like there aint no tomorrow

    The public in general should be able to access detailed mps expenses and I look forward to see the one Labour have set up. Where did £37 billion on track and trace go and lady Mone and partner getting £2 billion for useless PPE and Matt Hancock giving a £21 M CONTRACT TO HIS PUB LANDLORD? More importantly we need prison for theiving dishonest fraudsters like this.

  23. @makalu69

    January 15, 2024 at 4:59 am

    How the hell is it even possible to spend £1500 on lunch! I know Greggs have put their prices up but this is obscene!

    Turns out it's Jolly Easy to spend other people's money. So easy even the public sector can manage it. Another reason why THE STATE IS TOO DAMN BIG.

    No, the expenses scandal was about house flipping with public money. Money spent on moats ect.
    What did they spend the £10.000 they got at the begining of covid.

Watch as Will Kensington expresses concern about the state of the UK, arguing that Downing Street is no longer a place of power but has instead become Britain’s most expensive Airbnb.

This comes as Andy Burnham is set to become the UK’s seventh Prime Minister in a decade, with seemingly no one challenging the “King of the North” for the country’s top job.
