Cllr Iain Lindley’s Diary

A few weeks ago I wrote about Barbara Keeley MP’s dubious use of the House of Commons “Communications Allowance” - basically a propaganda fund for (usually Labour) sitting MPs at the considerable expense of the taxpayer.

It seems however that Barbara is bordering on saintly compared with another nearby Labour politician, Transport Secretary and Bolton West MP Ruth Kelly. Unlike Barbara Keeley, whose propaganda was implicit, poor Ruth went the whole hog and had to apologise. She is not the only one.
