Joanne Watson, a Liebour councillor in Sandwell, has attracted the attention of Guido Fawkes after claiming £14,894.20 in expenses for attending 4 meetings.
One commentator suggests that she actually attended 7 meetings which, if true, brings the cost per meeting down from £3,723 to £2,127.74.
Sandwell is, of course, Councillor Bob Piper’s patch and he’s always having […]

I think my MP, David Wright, has been inspired by the Leader of Scottish Liebour, Wendy “I’m going to expose the dishonesty of the SNP but please don’t mention the fact I got caught taking illegal donations” Alexander.
He makes all the right noises, of course - he’ll look at the proposal and make the case […]

Wendy Alexander has addressed the Scottish Liebour spring gathering and told them that she will lead them to victory in the Scottish Parliament. Yeah, right.
In a characteristic display of utter hypocrisy, she said that she “will lead by exposing the dishonesty of the SNP”. Dishonesty of the SNP? Sorry Wendy Love, […]

HMRC paid a crook £100,000 for details of 100 British citizens with accounts at Liechtenstein’s biggest private bank.
The records were stolen by an employee who also sold details of […]

A random audit by anti-fraud investigators at the EU has uncovered £100m of fraud committed by MEPs between 2004 and 2006.
£100m of taxpayers money lost to fraud and corruption over and above the latent fraud, corruption and waste that is estimated to account for up to 25% of their budget.
How the fuck can MPs even […]

James Purnell, the new Work & Pension Secretary, has said that Liebour’s reputation hasn’t been tainted by all the recent sleaze and corruption amongst senior members of the party and says that they’re doing “hat is right” in reforming their funding arrangements.
Reform, reform, reform. We all know what reform means - take something that works […]

Peter Hain, the lying, corrupt, two-faced, fork-tongued crook, has resigned.
He resigned within minutes of the Electoral Commissio announcing that it was referring his case to the police. Hain still maintains that it was “poor administration” that lead to him commit multiple criminal offences in accepting donations from third parties without their knowledge or consent and in […]

Teflon Hain has got been given the green light over breaking the Ministerial Code of Practice after the Cabinet Secretary, Sir Gus O’Donnell, decided that taking donations off two companies for his leadership campaign and then endorsing both companies was perfectly acceptable.
It now falls on the Electoral Commission and the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner to nail his […]

Two Liebour MPs have asked the Electoral Commission to investigate eighty Conswervative MPs over donations from “patrons clubs”.
They said that the Conservative MPs will end up paying back thousands of pounds of donations but the Conswervatives reckon that Liebour has received £2m in donations from “patrons clubs” themselves!
This is a truly pathetic attempt to divert […]

Peter Hain is being investigated by the Electoral Commission and the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner over his failure to disclose £103,000 in donations to his deputy leadership campaign.
This is 54% of the total donations to his deputy leadership campaign but it was an “innocent mistake” according to Hain.
£35,000 of the £103,000 came from the Progressive Policy […]

The West Midlands Conservative MEP group - headed by eurofederalist MEP, Philip Bradbourn - has a picture of Birmingham, ALABAMA on its website rather than Birmingham, England.
Tom Watson, the Liebour MP for West Bromwich makes political capital out of it on his blog and ends up in all the papers today being credited with the discovery.
Unfortunately for […]

A week ago, No Mandate Brown said that all the sleaze, corruption and gneral criminality of Liebour would all be forgotten soon.
Unfortunately for the One Eyed Wonder of Wankistan, the Metropolitan Police are apparently proposing to press criminal charges against Peter Watt.
Peter Watt was the General Secretary of the Liebour Party and was responsible for […]

No Mandate Brown thinks that the English are a nation of goldfish who will forget the recent scandals - fraud, sleaze, incompetence, treason - that have marked his first few months in power.
He actually had the gall to say “I think people know that when a problem arises we will deal with it” - it’s […]

About a year ago, Transforming Telford was officially launched for the first time. I say first time because they’ve been officially launched at least twice under the name Transforming Telford and once under the name Telford First.
The company, Transforming Telford, is another one of these taxpayer-funded, unelected quangos put in place to ensure that public […]

Liebour was given £183,000 by the Electoral Commission in 2001-02 to help them train staff to understand funding rules under the new Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000.
Despite having full training at considerable expense to the taxpayer, Liebour has continued to accept various illegal donations.
So, not only did they break the law by accepting […]

The law is the law and all men are equal in the eyes of the law. This is one of the most fundamental concepts in English law but the most serious of crimes - treason - is committed regularly and goes unpunished. Other fundamental rights that we have had for centuries and are guaranteed by the constitution are […]

The One Eyed Wonder of Wankistan yesterday pledged to repay the £664,000 in illegal donations that his party knowingly took from David Abrahams.
The Labour Party has outstanding debts of £29,178,692 - nearly £29.2m. Does Labour have sufficient liquidity to meet loan repayments? No, it has had to restructure some of its loans. Does it have […]
