Her first act as Culture Secretary, mere hours after being appointed, was to revoke the listed status of the Dorman Long tower to allow it to be demolished so her mate Ben Houchen could cash in on the land. Despicable person. We can, maybe, get these cunts out eventually but we'll never undo some of the damage they've done

About fucking time, the fucking talentless leech. She only hung on so her daughters could continue to earn a wage as her assistants.
Ha anyone told her why she's not been elevated to the Lords yet?

On the comparatively trivial front, MPs losing their seats or quitting are to get 4 months pay instead of 2. May cost up to £2.3m.
Nice work if you can get it.

The public are prone to occasional performative fits of outrage over comparatively trivial sums with little consequence re policy outcomes like MP expenses but shrug over the big stuff.

I daresay it was “briefly”, The public indifference to corruption is such a huge win for the Tories.

Just another day. Barely making a noise on social media this (or at least the social media I’m linked into).

I don't think anyone is surprised by this.

Osborne and Cameron have so much to answer for
In 2011, the Tory coalition govt gave LAs freedom to invest. In 2015, The Audit Commission was abolished.

As long as they're Tory, or there's a seat to buy at the general election , there will be money for a bailout.

There's lots more to come, many councils went on CRE shopping sprees using central government borrowing. Some of it was a pure investment play, some of it was questionable "support" for the local economy by eg buying up moribund shopping centres when nobody else would (but usually without any real plan to turn the round). Either way they're going to lose a lot of money.

They make the Italian councils who lost their shirts buying complex derivatives from certain well known financial institutions look prudent

600 million from Gove to save a bankrupt Tory Council that handed hundreds of millions to a dodgy solar panel chancer
This passage is just....
A ledger of payments shows £12m went to a company that bought Liam Kavanagh's private jet.
There are also payments totalling £2m for his Bugatti Chiron car and £16m for his yacht Heureka.
A further £40m disappears into a bank account labelled "other".
An email Mr Kavanagh sent in 2020 suggests he always planned to spend council cash on himself. It says: "These funds… will be used to create a new family investment office and to create wealth for years to come. This has always been my plan."

It's not corruption, but Lee Anderson has just become a parody of himself.
