I'd be asking Phil Hope that question first. He's going to pay almost three times that back.

I was pretty unimpressed with PMQ's today. When I heard the Beast of Bolsover was back in the house I was expecting some real fireworks over the whole allowances debacle.

As has been mentioned in far more notable blogs than mine, the fact that they are repaying it is - to an extent - an admission of guilt. If a burglar returns a TV to the owner then he also could expect a criminal record and/or fine. Why not with these people?

And who would like a side bet that whatever they repay will be made-up in other ways, not yet in the public eye?

I see that Squirrel Nutkin has 'decided' to pay £13k in sales tax. I guess that Gordo's temper tantrums do have some uses after all.  whistle:

How much feckin money does she have in the bank that she can just write a cheque for £13k without batting an eyelid  noooo:

More money than sense I'd guess.

Apparently Fabian Hamilton has been a very naughty boy, claiming mortgage expenses while living with his mother.

Lets see Gordo handle this one.
