Dear All
In order to satisfy the public lust for a lamb to be sacrificed by the Labour Party, what better way than to pick someone who is leaving!
Step forward Labour MP Harry Cohen who faces being stripped of an £65,000 allowance for retiring MPs.
This would make Harry Cohen the first MP to be told he should lose the allowance since the expenses scandal began.
A report found Cohen had breached the rules on second home claims.
He claimed the maximum £104,701 over five years by designating his main home as a property in East Anglia.
This is 70 miles from his Leyton and Wanstead constituency in East London.
They said it amounted to a “large sum of public money".
To add insult to injury, Cohen has also been told that he must apologise to Parliament.
If they are taking his ‘golden goodbye’ off him, I can’t see him wanting to apologise to anyone quite the opposite.
Previously dear old Harry was bullish in his responses to claiming the money.
I await his ‘apology’ with interest; he should use the current Westminister tactic of blaming everyone but himself.
It worked for George Osborne!
Yours sincerely
