Dear all.
Well done on finally getting some action on this matter ‘ speaker’s wife £4000 pound taxi fare’.
It seems odd to me, that it takes an outside organisation, likke yourselves, to get some action.
Or is it because the person in charge of the so called sleeze watchdog is the SPEAKER himself!!
Bravo to you!!! taxpayers alliance

Well done.
We also need to attack this so called “sleaze watchdog”.
Shouldn’t he have taken action on his own initiative? Does he not listen to the news? Six weeks to respond to a letter to say “yes I’ll investigate” sounds like the 999 service when you report a burglary in progress!
