Mr & Mrs Speaker
I really find this hard to believe but it is apparently true. Up to £45000 of taxpayers’ money is to be spent, much of it at Sally Bercow’s request , on tarting up the Speaker’s flat to make it homely for this curious couple and their children. It is difficult to believe that this reforming Speaker is so utterly insensitive to public anger over the expenses scandal or the suffering brought about by the recession, that he happily allows this squandering of public resourses, which even the officials cautioned against.
Parliament is all but running amok. Something needs to be done to put a stop to this cynical, corrupt and rotten assembly. If we had a Constitution it would be a whole lot easier. A few of them are honest and decent and they will survive. The rest will live on solely as names on a grimy list of one of the most contemptible parliaments in our history.
