Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

The MPs did not choose the pay rise. They have no control over it. An outside body sets the pay. Some are refusing the increase, but it will still be paid.

Conservatives doing an excellent job and will continue for the next 5 years."

The words loonies and Haystack will forever go together.

Ipsa or whatever they are called was set up by government, if your mob really wanted to make changes then your bunch of Tory Crooks could make those changes. Clearly your executive don't.

I hope you are wearing your cloth cap and stroking your ferret as you type.

I am sure you don't want to know that IPSA was introduced by the Labour government in 2009. If the government starts meddling with it, then it is not independent anymore.

"IPSA is independent of parliament, government and of political parties. In everything we do, we focus on our main duty; to serve the interests of the public."

Surely if this DIPSO org says mp's need an 11% pay rise, the ordinary workers need the same.

Oh do belt up you Tory Tart H/S.

It is such a good spectator sport watching the loony left explode. They will have plenty to explode about when the election gets closer and there is some really aggro levelled at Labour. We are in a phoney war at the moment. When hostilities break out, Miliband can expect a major barrage hitting him.

LOL LOL LOL LOL

Is that why Camoron initially didnt want to take Milly on in Televised debates LOL.

It was only the aussie who really runs the party who made his mind up for him.

A gift to ukip, an another headache for Cameroon



UK faces £34bn bill for black hole in EU budget

EU accused of financial mismanagement after auditors find huge black hole in the Brussels budget

Auditors have identified a blackhole in European Union budgets that could lead to extra demands for cash from the British taxpayer of up to £34billion over the next six years.


David Cameron will be legally obliged to make up a share of a shortfall of £259billion by 2020 with liabilities for the Treasury estimated at £33.7bn, calculated at the usual rate of Britain’s EU contributions.


The hole in EU spending has been identified by the European Court of Auditors and represents a political disaster for the Prime Minister who has made repeated pledges to bring down the amount Britain pays into Brussels budgets.


“The EU’s ability to just grab money from taxpayers whenever it wants is an outrage. It underlines what is structurally wrong with our relationship under the existing treaties. The UK parliament should decide how much we want to pay the EU not bureaucrats in Brussels," said Bernard Jenkin MP, the chairman of the House of Commons public administration select committee.


In a special report earlier this week, EU auditors identified the sum in outstanding bills for legally binding spending commitments made by the European Commission over the last four years.


“Assuming that commitments will not be de-committed, and we don’t see how most of them could, it might be problematic to get this money from member states to finance the expenditure foreseen,” Igor Ludborzs, an EU auditor, told the Euractiv website.

“We don’t see a happy ending. The amounts are getting bigger and bigger.”

Tory MP Nadhim Zahawi admits taxpayers paid power bill for his stables
MP promises to repay the part of £5,822.27 expenses claim for second home energy bills that relates to electricity for stables


A Tory MP has apologised and promised to repay part of a £5,822.27 expenses claim for his energy bills after it emerged taxpayers were paying for the electricity supply to his stables.


But he is with his hero.

Perhaps, they can squeeze in Haze next time!

Is he saying, "I love you Dave"?

The only lot that I can think of as loony left in this country is the WRP.. you can't even get that right now H/S.

I am sure that Manuel, Haze and DB4 and Stratford tories really fancy Nadhim Zahawi as the next Chancellor of the Exchequer. At least he seems to know as much about home economics as George!
