One night at a Premier Inn costs the tax payer £165.50

Claiming £165.50 expenses is not necessarily wrong as the figure is a flat rate expense. However, coming on the heels of the other revelations since the middle of last month, this latest exposure demonstrates that Warsi can be insensitive when responding. "Staying with a friend" rent free while her flat was being finalised, an "oversight" resulting in undeclared rental income, an undisclosed controlling interest in a spice manufacturing company, 17 tax payer funded foreign trips at least one of which was with her business partner, Abid Hussain who has been a leading member of Hizb ut Tahrir, the radical Islamic group the Tories promised to ban while in opposition and now this latest disclosure of her behaviour.
On my Blog "New Agenda" yesterday (Sunday June 3rd 2012) I wrote, "Like the drip, drip, drip of Chinese water torture, the now almost daily, allegations concerning this patronising obnoxious woman continue to emerge. She should be subjected to a thorough investigation not only by the House of Lords Committee, but also the police."

It seems to me that the time for such investigations is now overdue

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Workers face ban on striking .

Organisation and protests against the excesses of this Conservative government is essential.
