Julie Kirkbride's £50,000 extension for brother - MPs' expenses
Julie Kirkbride, the Conservative MP, used taxpayers’ money to fund a £50,000 extension to her constituency flat so that her brother could live in the property.
"Yesterday, in her first interview since the expenses scandal began, Miss Kirkbride insisted that she wanted to remain an MP but said she would step down if requested to do so by David Cameron. “If he asks me to go, then of course I will do as he asks,” she said".
She should not need to wait for David Cameron to tell her to go. This is the final straw.
David Cameron must wield the axe...
Chop! Chop!
UPDATE: It gets worse for David Cameron...
MPs' expenses: Tory MP Sir John Butterfill paid no tax on £600,000 house profit
Sir John Butterfill, a Tory grandee, paid no capital gains tax after making a £600,000 gain on the sale of his taxpayer-funded house which he told the parliamentary authorities was his designated second home.
Doesn't she look like Esther Rantzen?
What a shame that Iain Dale couldn't bring himself to mention it.
