“The shadow health secretary had his thatched Tudor cottage painted inside and out, using Farrow & Ball paint in some rooms, at a cost of more than £2,000, and also spent more than £500 having the driveway “re-shingled” and grass reseeded before selling it for £433,000.
Months before the Cambridgeshire South MP sealed the property deal, he “flipped” his expenses claim to his Georgian flat in London, where he spent thousands more, including £750 for a Laura Ashley sofa.” Telegraph May 2009
He did all this with our money. He has ‘moved on’ and ‘learned lessons.’ But the legacy of his actions linger on. And he is now Secretary of State for Health!
Can such a shameless expenses exploiter be trusted to run the NHS without letting his greedy chums in the Private Healthcare business get their grabbing paws on it?
