Brian Binley, Tory MP


Dear All

Moats, duck ponds, helipads and tennis courts, standard fare for your average Tory Millionaire on the make.

Step forward Brian Binley, the Gold Standard in Expenses claiming; we are paying him for a flat he already owns.

Tory sleaze never went away folks, they just got more crafty and devious.

This Tory millionaire claimed more than £57,000 of taxpayers’ money to rent a flat from his own company.

Brian Binley, is MP for Northampton South and he obviously doesn’t give a toss for the standards for public life, he broke the Commons rules which ban MPs from paying themselves or their businesses rent.

What is more disgust is that Commons officials warned Mr Binley that his arrangement was forbidden in April 2006. He is a remarkably vile individual who thinks that rules don’t apply to him. He then had the cheek to appeal to Commons Speaker Michael Martin, who failed to act to curb the payments until April this year.

That turns out to be £1,500 a month going on for three years, £57,000 salted away from the public purse.

He should be one for de-selection by the Tory Leader, David Cameron.

Yours sincerely
