These people rule us. HOW? WHY do we let them get away with it?
On 8 February 2009, the Mail on Sunday revealed that Home Secretary Jacqui Smith had designated as her main residence a house owned by her sister in order to claim a parliamentary allowance for her constituency home, despite explicitly stating on her website that she "lives in Redditch with husband, Richard and sons James (13) and Michael (8). She has claimed more than £116,000 over six years from this arrangement, and additionally the policing cost is believed to be an additional £200,000 per annum.".
On 29 March 2009, it was revealed in the Sunday Express that Smith, in April 2008, had claimed expenses on an internet bill that contained two adult films, other pay per view films, and a premium television subscription package. Smith said it was a mistake, blaming her husband, and is going to re-pay the claim.
In December 2008, Mr. Timney was discovered to be behind a series of letters to newspapers praising the work of Smith, however he had failed to disclose that he was both her husband and in receipt of a £40,000 salary to manage her constituency office.
Utterly amazing.
