Giving your mates billion pound contracts. Appointing your mate's wife as head of track and trace...
Hahahaha I wondered who would be first in on the defensive.Giving your mates billion pound contracts. Appointing your mate's wife as head of track and trace...
Sensible business practice?

Not sure about the velvet chair (but there may be some anti-static properties?), but the rest of it will be to do with remote working due to Covid than anything else.
Everybody who has to work from home will have been given kit to do it; she's chosen Apple, which is a mistake, but other than that, I don't see it as an issue.
Now all those new Tory MP's cottoned on quick to the Tory mentality.
Stepping from being a councillor to an MP you are supposed to quit the former. No elections so many carried on (pretending to do both), many for free.
Wakeford, Bury S, sacked after non attendance of council collected nearly £16k. Longhi, Dudley, £22k. Anderson, Ashford £7k whilst only attending 3/18 meetings. Plus many more...
Lots of Apple pens in that lot of parasites.
So are you saying that if you're a member of the Labour Party MPs group you dont get to have any office equipment and have to stand in the street to conduct party business? An absolutely pathetic attempt to deflect from the literally billions of pounds given to Tories and their families through circumventing the procurement process.Fair enough T's but she was happy enough to tell us how she used a Labour party cup when Rishi Sunak was drinking out of a £180 cup.
It's funny how some folk are happy to push the boat out when somebody else is paying for it.
I am not sure she is hypocritical enough to get a moderator role on here though.

Apologies. It wasn't aimed at you specifically, more the sense that we are spending billions with no audit, yet correctly claimed expenses are pored over with a fine tooth comb. It's that looking at the wrong things that gets my goat.Wiz
What you say about procurement processes may or may not be correct.
I am not attempting to deflect anything, I am just pointing out Angela Rayner's hypocrisy.
She questioned the need to spend £180 on a cup and told us all how she was perfectly happy with her Labour cup yet was happy to spend £250 on earphones on expenses.
In referring to the procurement process, it would appear that it's actually you who is doing the deflecting and not me as the topic of conversation was Angela Rayner.
I don't have any problem with you changing the topic of conversation but I feel that you are wrong to accuse me of deflecting things.
Are they shit?My earphones cost about a tenner

Perfectly good for a VC.Are they shit?

So equipment to help get through remote working or a cup. Seriously?Fair enough T's but she was happy enough to tell us how she used a Labour party cup when Rishi Sunak was drinking out of a £180 cup.

It’s fair enough to bring this to people’s attention. However, it seems to be rather selective.
Scott Benton is still claiming expenses as a councillor in Calderdale whilst being the sitting MP for my constituency. Claimed he wasn't aware he was doing anything wrong. And there's me thinking being an MP was a full time job.That's not just the Tories; one of the local councillor's for the area where I work, John Tennant (Brexit Party, Independent, Brexit Party and now Renew) actually was elected as a NE MEP; he didn't resign so in addition to his £130k (I think) role, he also had his councillor allowance; whilst living most of the time in Brussels.

Also claimed he gave it to charity, which is why I never mentioned him.Scott Benton is still claiming expenses as a councillor in Calderdale whilst being the sitting MP for my constituency. Claimed he wasn't aware he was doing anything wrong. And there's me thinking being an MP was a full time job.

So you want our elected representatives to use cheap shit to help facilitate their job? Ok then.The point is that Sunak's £180 cup was not paid for out of public money.
Rayner appears happy to go for top of the range when some other fecker is paying.
She's a hypocrite.

Thank god she didn't spunk billions to her friends in dodgy contracts during a national crisis. You really would be mad then.
Was Raynor just pointing out before a meeting about kids without, that a £180 cup isn't a good 'I'm alright Jack' signal to send? I might be wrong, but that's what I thought.I said nothing like that so please stop trying to say that I did.
I referred to the fact that she was perfectly happy to tell us how although Rishi Sunak used a £180 mug - purchased by his wife and not the taxpayer - to drink his tea out of, she still used her "Labour" cup.
When it comes to earphones - acquired at public expense - it would appear that she prefers the top of the range.
Some might consider her actions to be hypocritical and I guess some might be of the opinion that she opted for the top of the range model in order to ensure that she was able to provide the good people of Ashton-under-Lyne with the best possible service.
Ms Two Faced CowJust another excuse for the yaa-boo accusation throwing on the Politics forum. You'd think if you wanted a serious discussion about the woman's views you could make the effort to spell her name correctly.
Of course not nobber.It’s fair enough to bring this to people’s attention. However, it seems to be rather selective.
I assume the fact that Matt Hancock has been purchasing similar items on expenses has escaped your notice?
You obviously don’t have an adgenda?
All a bunch of thieves, some are at it more than others. It’s the rank hypocrisy that boils my piss. She will probably be the next leader of the Labour party and she had the nerve to attack sunak on a cup. Pathetic.Politician snout in the Trough non shocker.
There all at every single one of them whatever side of Westminster they sit on claiming for all types of shit, employing their partners, dinning in the finest restaurants(when open!) etc.
How any one can defend them as they have the moral compass of an American lawyer.

And I'd hate Raynor to mishear a word or two whilst listening to minutes or Celine Dion- it's important they all have equipment that functions 100%, perhaps unlike themselves.
What gets me is things like the OP. They have pre conceived axioms and look for examples to display those without the slightest thought for balance, context or anything else other than their own single mindedness.
There's a lot of this about unfortunately where top jobs are dished out liberally, usually with an inflation busting pension and all the Jammie Dodgers you can eat.So you want our elected representatives to use cheap shit to help facilitate their job? Ok then.

Poetry, simple forum poetryThe board is full of threads like this from loads of posters to be fair.
I hear what you say and we'll all have our own ideas.
Fair enough, I'll spare her on the hypocrisy charge but she's banged to rights on taking the p1ss on expenses, her and public servants on all over the place.
