thewelk Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Jim Murphy, the Labour party leader in Scotland, owns a property bought with help from the taxpayer just two miles from the Palace of Westminster, which he let out. Over two years from 2012/13 he claimed £39,372 to rent another London flat for himself. http://www.channel4.com/news/mps-expenses-46-claim-in-london-despite-owning-a-property Scottish National Party MP Angus MacNeil jointly owns two properties with his wife in Scotland. He also owns a London flat in Lambeth, bought under the old expenses system, just a 15-minute walk from the houses of parliament. But in three years since 2012/13 he claimed £42,177 to stay in hotels in Westminster. angus after spending so much of our money doing that flat up as well. http://web.archive.org/web/20090517030201/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5314297/SNPs-Angus-Robertson-claims-80000-for-second-home-MPs-expenses.html Two years worth of flat in London 39372. 20k a year for a flat. Three years worth of hotel in London 42177. 14k per year to stay in a hotel. Why doesn't everyone in London live in hotels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuNsTeR Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 it looks as if the Red Tories are back to their old tricks of trying to scare pensioners again Murphy and the Red Tories are the lowest of the low if this image is real .... this was put up on facebook ... can anyone from Murphy's constituency confirm or deny the validity of this image (minus the new text) ??

AlfieMoon Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Gary Robertson taking him tot ask on "The Biggest Party Forms Government" lie this morning. Pleasing! Jim as expected doesn't answer despite being pressed numerous times. Murphy just talked over just about every attempt to ask him a question and then ended up trying to ask Robertson questions. I'd like someone stronger to really give him a showing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
