What a waste of £ 136575

[Uncle Spielberg]

Norman Baker

£ 136575 expenses claim 2005/2006 plus his £ 59868 salary and pension, thats £ 196443

A shocking waste of tax payers money

 

[Pavilionaire]

Probably about the same amount as the anti-Falmer legal bill will be.

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Don't forget he has to pay his staff out of those expenses. (I'd want to be paid LOTS for putting up with him as a boss) And rent his office.

And -- whatever I think of Baker -- just over fifty grand is reasonable for an MP.

 

[DIN]

Its by no means the worst.

He is a **** over Falmer, but a good MP locally respected on other issues.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

No

1. £ 20814 accomodation and hotel bills
2. £ 21994 incidental expenses
3. £ 82085 staffing allowances
4. £ 4839 travel
5. £ 124 staff travel
6. £ 1889 stationery
7. £ 4830 postage ( probably all the anti Falmer letters )

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I feel the utmost respect for him with his environmental crusades and as DIN says, £136k is a drop in the ocean when compared to some MPs. However, I will never forgive his antics re: Falmer and the downright lies that he spins off.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

He's claimed a lot more than the Prime Minister

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

3rd highest claim out of 16 local mp's

 

[DIN]

Let it go GARTH, Falmer will be won on the streets of Brighton and Hove, not in some backwater.

Baker will NOT loose his seat over Falmer.

 

[maffew]

whats an "incidental expense"?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I WILL NOT let it go until he has fled the country with his tail between his legs.

Tarts

Tarts

Jam?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

treacle with his tea

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

He's claimed a lot more than the Prime Minister

The PM gets a government house to live in, and therefore doesn't need a London home, or as much travel to/from his constituency.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

What is this a Baker love fest

 

[Drumstick]

whats an "incidental expense"?

At 21,900....

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

hardly enviromentally friendly is it

 

[JJ McClure]

whats an "incidental expense"?

As an MP I'm guessing it means Rent boys?

 

[Man of Harveys]

2. £ 21994 incidental expenses

whats an "incidental expense"?

£1994 to get the rentboys to shit in his briefcase, £20,000 to get them to keep schtumm about it
