Main article: List of expenses claims in the United Kingdom parliamentary expenses scandal

Prior to The Daily Telegraph's revelations in May and June 2009 and the official publication of expenses claims in June 2009, and during the Freedom of Information cases, there were a variety of exposés that covered the controversial John Lewis List (a list considered to indicate amounts that could be claimed without question) and individual MPs’ expenses claims.[17] Examples of items publicised prior to the May 2009 disclosures included:

 

Tony Blair's expenses were shredded 'by mistake' when they were the subject of a legal bid to have them published.[24]

 

Conservative Derek Conway was alleged in May 2007 to have employed and paid his son, a student at the time. The matter was forwarded to the House of Commons Standards and Privileges Committee, whose report dated 28 January 2008 concluded there was no record of such work. Conway was suspended for 10 days and ordered to repay £13,000.[25] Conway was also expelled from the party. A second case a year later found he had done the same with regard to his other son.[26]

 

Chairman of the Conservative Party Caroline Spelman was alleged in June 2008 to have paid for her nanny out of parliamentary expenses during her early years in Parliament, between 1997 and 1998[27]—an allegation that became known as "Nannygate". It was ruled that she had inadvertently "misapplied part of [her] parliamentary allowances", but calls for her sacking were rebutted since she might not have been aware of the rules governing the use or purpose of parliamentary allowances. The committee recommended that Spelman repay £9,600.[28]

 

Married couple and Labour Cabinet ministers Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper were accused in September 2007 of exploiting the Commons' allowances system in order to pay for a £655,000 house in London. The complaint, centring on the gain made by allocation of their "second house", was dismissed since it was held the couple had acted in accordance with parliamentary rules.[29]

 

Married Conservative MPs Sir Nicholas and Lady Winterton were accused in June 2008 of claiming back mortgage interest on a mortgage they had fully repaid, on a flat they owned in London, and then also placing the flat in trust and claiming for the rent on it.[30] It was held there had been a clear breach of the rules, but no repayment was ordered.[citation needed]

 

Labour Home Secretary Jacqui Smith was stated to have claimed for her main home by designating it as a second home, while identifying as her main home a location where she spent as little as 2 days a week, and despite also having access to a "grace and favour" home in Westminster. No investigation was held, however, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards stating there was "not sufficient evidence for an inquiry".

 

Labour minister Tony McNulty admitted claiming expenses for a second home in Harrow, 8 miles from his main home in Hammersmith, and asserted they were appropriate, but ceased claiming the allowances.[31] Under continuing pressure, he apologised to the House for expenses abuses on 29 October 2009.

 

Conservative MP Eric Pickles likewise was identified as claiming for a second home 37 miles from his main home.[32]

Is there any such thing as an incorruptible human being? Sadly, probably not. The saying : "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" is true. Unfortunately.

The only thing we can do is make those in power subject to intense scrutiny .....and get them to court whenever they take the piss. But politicians won't pass legislation which might imprison their own kind. So ... what to do? Don't vote? Attractive proposition. But what will fill the void that Westminster leaves? Anarchy? Bit too scary for me.

84-85 strike sickened me of the NUM, officials like Scargill living like kings throughout and some rank and file members almost starving and having to sell cars, furniture even houses just to survive

who told you that

[tatsblisters 7,944]

Bent as rats backs the fekin lot I had memorys of when I worked down the pit the NUM paid Scargills mortgage off during the strike when I were loosing my feker.All that money that's in the unions coffers should be given to a worthy charity imho instead of the poncing c@nts that's paying them a good wage every year out of it.

[twobob 1,458]

Rational men can't beleive in any of this anymore..........and it seems rational men can't not beleive in it either.

That, my friend, is what you call a terrible dilemma
