£45,000? You could barely even buy your kids a decent new car for that kind of money these days.
That's the people we're dealing with.

Our mate Dave was right upset when questioned about this yesterday. Almost lost his temper with the reporter. Twat.

Well, to be fair, he had already told us all to "move on" wrt Maria Miller, so it was jolly rude of this reporter to ignore his instructions.

Her friends should have had a whip round to pay for the funeral like poor people have to do. Surely her friends have deep pockets.

What do you think?
Apparently Miller is devastated that she's let her constituents down.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.

I don't understand the way the expenses examinations works at the moment. Especially I don't understand how one body said she over claimed many tens of thousands, but another body decided she only needed to repay perhaps five grand. Haven't had the time to discover what is actually going on.

Well...imagine a situation in which a thieving, amoral psychopath stood trial but could be tried by a judge & jury composed of friendly, like-minded rapacious, thieving fuckers.....

There is no love between us anymore.
This is seriously incompetently handled. A total non entity is dragging the government through the mire just over a month before the Euro elections. Things like this are not 'big', they are not the decisions that governments go down in history for, but they create the miasma of incompetence, weakness and cronyism. They reinforce so many negative stereotypes of the government that they create the cancer in the foundations of trust that breaks governments when the big stories come along.
Its a bit like a mini-omnishambles II, Shapps bingo tweet, the post office sell off and the stench of Wimbledon flipping. Fuck up after fuck up.

Telegraph goes with "Maria Miller used expenses to pay parents' council tax" tomorrow:

Knives are out, pots are being stirred, just in time for PMQs.

Not toast just a simple resignee with a cushy job from one of her friends elsewhere probably. I wonder if the BBC needs some more "culture" 
First off - Mary Macleod, PPS to Maria Miller the Dept Media, Culture and Sports Secretary, cannot spell Leveson - she spelled it "Levesen". This is a major inquiry and possible legislation that her government department are dealing with and has been in the headlines for the last two years. "E" is nowhere near "O" on a keyboard, so it ain't just a slip of the finger.
Secondly, Mary Macleod said that "she [Maria Miller] came up with the £5,800 that she felt she owed due to fluctuating interest rates and she has paid that amount". So Maria Miller paid back "what she felt she owed" [£5,800], not the £45,000 that was originally said that she should pay back - and this £39,200 difference is because of "fluctuating interest rates", the Bank of England base rate has been 0.5% for the last five to six years. Hahahaha - ahahahaha - bwahahaha.
Mary Macleod also bleated about "witch hunt", "getting on with her job" and "fairness". "Faihness" was my favourite - these chiselling language manglers love "Faihness" as much as they are willing to stand up for "hard working people".
She also claimed that folks were getting all antsy because of the "Levesen" [sic] inquiry and the gay marriage legislation that Ms Miller steered through parliament. It has nothing to do with a vindictive, thieving, arrogant politician ripping off the taxpayer. Yeah right.

Yes, I meant purely in relation to her position in government, anything of a crisper nature would be a bonus. Currently though she looks to be still hoping to ride it out. Her PR people are even latching onto the Leveson angle as put forward by Toynbee but the trouble with that is though it may be to some extent true the damage has already been done. People having had the matter drawn to their attention with the assistance of the Telegraph the Mail and suchlike and are rightly very pissed off.
Update: She's resigned as a minister, remaining as a constituency MP. Half a cheer then.

Any reaction from Minister David Laws yet?

But why publicly ask her to pay only 10% back? They must realise how that looks to us?
Neither mention of him, nor quote from him.
