Dawn Butler, another Labour MP in the trough.

Her second home she claims for takes 3 minutes longer to travel to Westminster from than her main residence, !!!!!!???, she has been a Labour MP since 2005 and has claimed over 37k in expenses, again she used the Nuremburg Defense.

Unbelieveable.

I don't have a link but it's just been on London News on the BBC.

Ok I'm bored with this. Next up - find a Labour poilitician, actually any politician who hasn't got their nose in this seemingly never ending trough.

Didn't Frank Field used to draw an average workers salary and live in a council flat? Whoever it was, that's a bit of decent commitment to their fellow working men and women. Even if you don't admire the politics you can appreciate the sentiment.

Brian Brinley (Northampton South, Conservative)
A quarter of all council tax is now used to pay for local authority pensions. A former chief executive of Northamptonshire county council left his job 18 months ago at the age of 52 with a lump sum payment of £291,000 and a £97,000 a year index-linked pension, which is costing the county £600,000. Nice work if you can get it! When will the Government have the courage to tackle this national pension outrage? :mad:

Roll on the peoples revolution, and it will come :beer: . The poll tax riots will look like a picnic in the woods when it kicks off, God forbid we have a hot summer or repeats of Toxteth and Brixton will be kicking off in every town and city in the UK :eek:

zedyy

thats ridiculous, we must be the worlds biggest mugs to let them do this...

Simon Hughes was pretty upfront and decent about not claiming on the radio yesterday. So there's one.

Good old Cyril Smith used to share a house with his mother in Rochdale. I remember his treat to himself was a handmade comfy armchair.

How times have changed......
