(not satire – it’s the Tories!)
Tory MP Paul Maynard has been in the news recently for labelling as extremists campaigners who want the government to assess the impact that benefit cuts are having on the sick and disabled.
Like most Tory MPs, he probably thinks benefits paid to the disabled are a waste of taxpayers’ money.
Unlike the £10,007.77 of taxpayers’ money Maynard himself claimed as expenses in just 5 months for things like soap, coasters and biscuits presumably:

At that rate for five months he is spending £24,018.64 a year – about the average earnings of a full-time employee. On biscuits, soap and coasters.

Tory MPs doing away with need for satire – they are satire on responsible democratic government – problem is that they are actually the government!

This is the Paul Maynard MP who complained about Labour MPs mimicking him as a disabled person despite his government killing many disabled people as a result of their policies. This is the Paul Maynard MP who cried down a request for a Comprehensive Assessment on the policies of this government toward disabled people only last night, although no news media carried the story. This is the Paul Maynard MP who has cerebal palsy but proves he can ‘make work pay’
What a fucking , traitorous bastard he is

I think biscuits should not be included as an expense if those biscuits were for his own personal use. We pay them a wage which is generous compared to most jobs he should be able to afford his own biscuits. If they were claimed as an expense for meetings within the office i think people should understand that in these times of austerity the taxpayer can not afford being hosts.

Even chemo doesn’t make me feel as sick as when I read this, no doubt at me forthcoming ATOS Assessment I will be found fit for work & will have to fight tooth & nail to keep my benefit using all my energy on this instead of getting better. These type of people are not fit to to be in Government as although they do understand what their policies are doing to this Country they don’t apparently give a shit.

The only real qualification for any MPs expense item is would they pay for it anyway. A FIVE YEAR term as an MP equates to the average lottery win (400k+ those laughable expenses) without the ridiculously poor odds. Unlike people making financial choices because their benefits have been cut their choices have been aborted…..rock or hard place?

Mr Maynard’s expenses included 264 on blinds for his constituency office, 31 on soap, glasses and biscuits, 13 on mugs and handwash and 11 on coasters and a tray. – From the original Blackpool Gazette story.

You could say Mr Maynard takes the biscuit in this saga, especially for those blind enough to coast along and accept mp’s expenses from the public purse.
