After a week of dredging the Telegraph has dug up a corby trouser press, scatter cushions, a leather rocking chair and the tenuous claim against Andrew George who let his student daughter use his second home as an occasional ‘bolt hole’.
Does not look good for us but thankfully does not look too bad in comparison.
By the way, what is a flipping portico???
Latest Populus Poll puts Lib Dems at 22% (up 4%), Labour on 26% (down 4%) and Conservatives 39% (down 4%).
The fieldwork for this poll was carried out in the intial fallout of the Telegraph expenses leaks.
With no real Lib Dem appearance in the expenses furore as yet, we could yet benefit further from the greed of others.
In the light of Ms. Blears’ ‘flipping’ of properties to make the most of the second home expenses and avoiding capital gains tax on the sale of one of these properties, I think we have found our first Labour scapegoat.
Unless overshadowed by more serious accusations of fiddling and dodging, Hazel’s tax alleged tax dodging moves go well beyond the “it’s within the rules” defence.
A sacking or two might help Brown regain some of the great expanse of ground lost over the expenses issue.
Not such a ringing endorsement from the BBC picture editor.
Not the wisest place to pose if you’re the Prime Minister of a Labour government which has introduced draconian laws against freedom of speech and the right to protest, ID cards and attempted to introduce 42-day detention without trial.
Oops!!!
