Is it true Blunkett claimed for binoculars??

Dawn Butler is yet another New Labour MP with her snout in the trough. She’s also my local MP which really saddens me, as there is no need for her to be claiming this allowance from the already shafted taxpayers. If she wants to build up a property portfolio, I suggest she uses her own wage. I’m now a former supporter, I’ve had enough of their greed and lies. We’ve had Tony Blair’s war mongering lies and now this, it seems the so-called peoples party is full of careerist and thieves.

I half expected to see Watford’s parliamentary representative, Claure Wawd, among the ministers in this follow-up article in today’s Daily Telegraph. Maybe she no longer has a second home in Wealdstone?

I note in passing that this is yet to be reported (at least, in a readily visible fashion) on the websites of the Beeb and the Graun. Interesting.

She has no shame. Like Tony McNulty before her we are seeing the greed and arrogance of these Labour MPs. How dare they say ‘it’s within the rules’? Disgraceful.

Absolutely shameful. These MPs have no shame at all. Claiming cash equivalent to several years’ salary for an ordinary person to line their own houses…

I live in Brent South, work in Westminster and commute to Parliament every day. It’s really not that difficult (around 25 mins on the Jub or Bakerloo line). Last tube home is 0031. And a black cab after then would cost around £20 (Parliament would pay this for her).
