J, Nath here, seems we’ve got a fraudulent MP of our own down in Bromley/Beckenham. Jacqui Lait has claimed £7,000 in 3 years in fraudulent Mortgages claims. She needs to be on this site mate, and also we need a Jacquilaitmustgo.com built!! Just make a blog page dude and I’ll take it from there!!

I would like to see Bill Cash added to the list of MPs who should step down, resign, be sacked. It almost looks like he’s slipping through the net with David Cameron basically pardoning him in a letter on Thursday night. Thanks, Mark Binnersley

Please add Ian Taylor (Walton and Esher) to your list of MPs that have broken the spirit of the rules.
Between 07-08 Ian Taylor claimed 23,083 in 2nd homes allowance. Lives probably 40 mins approx from Westminster.
Taylor also claimed £4,075 during the same year for petrol. That’s £359.59 per month, whats he driving a Hummer I thought having a pad so close to Westminster would have cut down on the travel costs In fact between 2001-2008 Mr Taylor has claimed a total of £144,003 in second homes allowance. That must be some pad !
For a full list of Ian Taylors expenses, interests, etc click here http://www.theyworkforyou.com/…..tingrecord
On his web-site Ian Taylor admits to claiming for a second home, what he does not tell us is that he voted against MP’s having to provide receipts for all expenses, against a motion to have Staff as employees of Parliament and against a bill to stop outer-London MPs claiming for a second home
His full voting record can be viewed here: [url] http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/m…..ons/url.
His response in our local paper was “There is a small number of constituents compared to those writing to me with real issues who may lash out in a sense of hysteria.”
Ian Taylor can be contacted here : http://www.iantaylormp.com/typ…..amp;type=1
Best Wishes

My MP Stephen Williams, Bristol West, has channeled over £60k to another Lib front bencher Baroness Jenny Tonge to rent a property that she bought with the allownaces. It is a furnished flat and we are paying for the furniture a second time round, firstly through the allowances and now through the rent.

Please add the MP for East Lothian, Anne Moffat
She had the affront to claim £20 for a poppy, which I assume means a red Earl-Haig Fund poppy. To wear a poppy that has not been ‘paid for’ is an affront to our fallen soldiers, and effectively a fraudulent statement. Further, for an MP to make a donation to any charity, and then claim it against taxpayers money is totally against parliamentary principle.
Her second home allowance is only a few pennies away from the maximum allowable.
Every month she puts in un-substantiated claims for ‘Petty Cash’ of £250, EXACTLY. This makes it clear that it is not linked to any real expense.

Could you list Ian Cawsey the MP for Brigg & Goole who seems to be a pretty high spender. Thanks Joyce

I’d like to see Bill Wiggin, MP for N.Herefordshire on the list. he’s claimed £400 per MONTH in food bills & £1300 per MONTH mortgage payments on his £900,000 London home. Plus, he refused to hold a democratic public meeting to discuss these claims. He held a meeting in his local Con club where many people were locked out.
