Dear All
We are all a bit mucky in the house sometimes but former Cabinet Minister James Purnell has left his taxpayer-funded second home “looking like a pigsty”!
More than that he claimed more than £1,600 for cleaning and repairs and it still looks like a squat.
.
The Work and Pensions Secretary has abandoned a smart, £1,820-a- month apartment with wine stains on the wall, a grimy kitchen, rusty sink and filthy carpets according to his landlord.
After Purnell flew the coup from the tenancy a bitter exchange of legal letters between his solicitor and the landlord’s lawyers over unpaid bills amounting to £4,000 then ensued.
In one exchange of letters Mr Purnell’s lawyers admitted the flat had not been properly cleaned when he left.
A gross understatement of the facts!
Being a ‘socialist hero’, Mr Purnell did not submit receipts for the cleaning and repairs as he was not required to do so for expenses coming to less than £250 until last year.
Take the money and run Purnell.
When he done a runner from his midden, a three-piece suite was found in the flat despite claiming a further £1, 541 in second home furniture allowance between 2004 and 2008.
Naturally, the taxpayer funded £2,520 deposit was used by the landlord to pay a £2,587.25 decoration and repair bill.
It is alleged that he still owes According documents obtained by the Sunday Express he still owes £1,523.12, including £910.63 for alarm repairs, £307.74 for cleaning, £47.50 inventory charges and £190.00 for changing the locks.
Gosh that boy knows how to spend other people’s cash!
Mr Purnell, 38, MP for Stalybridge and Hyde in Greater Manchester is a bachelor and judging by the photos of the flat, a dirty one!
What in the name of God is that brown stain in the sink?
Yours sincerely
