136 MP's still abusing their expenses by employing their family one of the buggers has not met his constituents for 14 years
OK first off here is the wanker who can not be bothered to even meet the people who pay his wages and gives his wife 35k a year out of the public purse.


Snip:

"The latest allegations come after it emerged Sir Stuart had not held a surgery in Middlesbrough for 14 years and does not have a publicly accessible office in the town.

Instead his local affairs are conducted from his home, an imposing, double-fronted property a mile and a half outside the town centre, by his wife, Lady Margaret, who earns £35,000 as his office manager
"


"Getting in touch with Sir Stuart is the hot political talking point on Teesside. Yesterday the 73-year-old accused the local Evening Gazette of conducting a politically motivated campaign to unseat him after it reported the results of an investigation in which reporter Neil MacFarlane tried to speak to him on 100 occasions earlier this year. Despite phoning daily – 50 times to his constituency number and a similar amount at his Westminster office – he never managed to get through"

Here is a story about the rest of the thieving buggers listing names and who they employ.

Snip:

"MPs are still paying nearly £3m of public money to family members despite attempts by the new expenses watchdog to tighten up the system, research for The Independent has found.

Analysis of MPs' staffing claims by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism for the last financial year reveals that nearly one in five MPs still employs members of their family, at a cost to the taxpayer, despite condemnation of the practice during the expenses scandal.

More than 40 family members of MPs were paid £30,000 or more, and six received between £40,000 and £44,999. Twenty-seven of the MPs who employed those close to them were newly elected in 2010. One MP employed both his estranged wife and his new partner at a combined cost of at least £55,000
"

Rest at link.
