The Spectator is picking up on Southwark Labour’s plans to pay themselves more. From Friday’s Spectator Website :

There’s one thing I love doing when I’m not campaigning in South Bermondsey, and that is campaigning somewhere else! Here I am with the hardest working councillor in Southwark, Poddy Clarke. We were telling people about Labour’s plans to raise their allowances, and close our libraries.

I’ve told you about Mick’s fruit & veg- did I mention John’s flower stall? His mum Flo used to run the stall… Anyway I just got some fantastic hanging baskets there, but he made me promise not to say how much he charged me. I appreciate you may live in a flat, so buy some […]

I’m still getting complaints about postal staff slipping P739s through letter boxes without knocking or ringing, because they don’t bring the parcels out with them. It is plain dishonest! Please let me know if it happens to you. <- expecting one of these?                        print one of these –>

Housing repairs  cost money, just like increases in allowances, and just like the little old lady who came to my surgery on Saturday, you are going to pay. Here’s how much: £100 for a broken window, £350 to unblock you drain, £63 per tile…..
