David Miliband is earning £500,000 a year and rarely takes part in the cut and thrust of Westminster any more, but that hasn’t stopped him from being one of the highest expenses claimants in the figures released by IPSA today. Miliband is the 20th greediest MP, trousering £170,500 in expenses over the last year. He needs it, they only pay him £116 a minute for his speeches…
Meanwhile the former Prime Mentalist claimed £127,197 despite the fact that he’s only spoken in one debate during the last twelve months.
Why are we paying so much for his travel when he never turns up?
IPSA have released this year’s expenses figures. Here are the top five troughers:
- Greg Mulholland, LibDem, £188,783
- Stephen Gilbert, LibDem, £185,811
- Alistair Carmichael*, LibDem, £185,389
- Brian Donohoe, Labour, £182,003
- Willie Bain, Labour, £180,923
Once again Tory MP Philip Hollobone was the lowest claimant at just seven grand.
:- By my calculations, Mulholland claims over £500 per DAY EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR!!!!!
Keep payin’, you bloody fools!
Dickie Old Son,as I sit here downing a glass or two of Red I wonder what our service to Queen & Country was all about.At PMQ,s you hear Cameron then that Goon Milliband mouthing meaningless platitudes about the latest of our fatalities in Afganistan and your stomach turns.They just have no idea about pride in your country means.They are a self sevirng bunch of Arseholes.Oh for another Enoch Powell.
Yes! I totally agree with you, mate!
What I want to know is this: Why isn’t their paperwork/list of expenses PUBLISHED MONTHLY!?! Your aristocrats (oh, sorry, politicians) and ours as well? It’s bad enough that, here at least, not sure about your neck of the woods, they don’t have to (as yet) show from whom all the money that helps them get elected comes!! That’s being gradually and painstakingly torn apart here, with some meager calling to “account for…” hopefully being brought into line as a result. And, my favorite Brit, Dickiebo, it is President Obama that is behind it!! He believes that it should be disclosed exactly how much of ones campaign is funded by whom!!
‘President Obama that is behind it!! He believes that it should be disclosed exactly how much of ones campaign is funded by whom!!’
That is a sure sign that he is envious of the other Party’s donations. Socialist envy at it’s best!
Oh poo on yoo!!! You’re just mad because I gave you something to confirm what I’ve said all along: “He’s our best bet yet!!!”
He sure is your best bet yet – to finish the job he started of ruining what was a fine country!
Oh we’ve been working on that from day one. You need some more informative history books…
