From the Mirror:
Olympics minister Tessa Jowell has spent over £40,000 of taxpayers’ cash refurbishing a second office.
The Mirror revealed weeks ago how she has earned herself the nickname of Two Desks because she works from two different bases.
But the full cost of her extravagance has now been revealed in a written Parliamentary answer…
It is the fifth time in six years that Ms Jowell has had an office decorated.
Lib Dem Don Foster said: “Tessa Jowell’s fondness for office design has been widely documented and the huge amount of public money being wasted here demonstrates how profligate this government has become with public money.
“If we’re going to have any chance of getting value for money from the Olympics then we need to urgently cut back on the excess surrounding this project.”

But who authorised this disgraceful waste and why on earth is it left to MPs to decide when their office is redecorated in the first place?
