do they have some sort of expensive habit...beyond the usual
'new' labour profligacy with other people's money....
this stuff smells of desperation....or can it just be more greed...

good job its not the dwp investigators on her tail then eh!
or even the penny pinching pains-in-the-arse at the typical engineering
companies expenses department.

Amazing. I only earn a fraction of what Jacqui gets but I would be
embarrassed to spend my time doing an expenses claim for something as
trivial as a bath plug.

Never mind the 88p, what about the £116,000 claimed for staying at her
sister's!
And then £40kpa hubby gets to run her office.
These trivial claims and genuine mistakes are a smoke screen to hide the
real issue.

That's why she pays her husband to claim stuff like that for her,
which he does while jacking off to soft-core nonsense, also at the
taxpayers expense.

She earns £140,000 pound a year before expenses perks and she pays her
husband another £40,000 on top of that - and she charges to the
country the cost of her bathroom plug!
As a woman who looks like she doesn't bathe as often as some, I would
say this shows the woman's sheer, unashamed, greed.

I was going to say it seems she claimed for everything but the kitchen sink.
But then I read that she has, in fact, claimed for a kitchen sink too!!!!
(A nice stone £550 jobbie by all accounts)

So I think what we are looking at, is a woman, whose basic income of
£140,000 can just be paid straight into a ring fenced savings
account. Apart from the odd Maccy D's, this woman has got so much of
her life attributed to the taxpayer's tab, that she needn't ever touch
her earnings! It's a fact that whenever politicians, and
particularly Labour get into power, within seconds they have their
hands in the till; their snouts in the trough, and then they set about
making it harder and harder for the public in general to enjoy life's
little extra's.
All this, 'we need to watch what you're doing all the time' stuff, is
really a projection of their own guilt. They know that they're on the
fiddle, so they automatically accuse us of it too!

My old sink lasted 23 years and was only replaced after it got burnt. The
new one has already done 8 should last at least as long, so why does JS not
contribute towards the cost. It cost around £90 from B&Q IIRC and an
equivalent 1.75 unit costs about £150 - £400 less than hers!
BTW those expensive low level "Belfast" sinks are a real pain in the back if
you actually [bend over to] do any washing up in them...

I've always facied a Belfast sink....for the farmhouse country kitched look.
However, my wife has always refused to have one, stating "I'll be the silly
bugger breaking her back over it".
I'm assuming the stone sink that Jackboots bought was a Belfast model.
Perhaps it was hubby's choice, he doesn't look very tall, and a low-level
sink would be ideal for ...erm...'washing up' in...after watching those
blueys!

You don't have to have a belfast sink low down. We had one in the
cottage we lived in 40 years ago. Quite comfortabl to use and big
enough to let the kids use it as a bath. At the time we didn't have a
bath, inside toilet or hot water supply.

That’s because things like the height of sinks, vacuum cleaners and
ironing boards are determined by the average height of women, not men.
Therefore, most men cannot risk using the sink, the vacuum cleaner or
the ironing board because it’s uncomfortable and may damage their
backs.
It’s then a popular myth, that women like to propagate, that men’s
reluctance to do housework is for reasons of sexual inequality when,
in fact, it’s purely for reasons practical.

Printed out and filed on the ironing board. Thanks.

With a few (make that very few) exceptions, they are all crooks.
What many don't realise (as yet) is that the Tories are the worst

The 'turns each' democracy trick that has been designed for Britain,
keeps parliament as a cover for a great british swindle. It's a
system designed by rogues, and you're right to point out they're all
at it. It's time for the public to spewll out to politicians that the
system must be changed. A difficult thing to do in view of the
addiction to fish and chips, Sky TV and beer taking priority over most
other decisions for the public.
