Tim Yeo MP

[cromwell]

Has jus been dropped by his local party.
Good! This person has been "Chair of the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee" whilst at the same time he has been taking money like this:- £67,290 in remunerations from corporate donors for work done for AFC Energy PLC, a developer of alkaline fuel cells focused on industrial application. From other corporate donors, he has received £372,419 in other remunerations, from companies including TMO Renewables Limited, Groupe Eurotunnel SA, and Eco City Vehicles.
He was also filmed in a "sting" operation. The Sunday Times alleged, citing video evidence of a conversation with the MP, that he had helped "coach" a solar energy company executive for an appearance before his parliamentary committee; the parent company pays Yeo.
To me you couldn't get clearer evidence of a conflict of interests; the Parliamentary grand poohbah for standards cleared Yeo; it's good to see that local tories seem to have higher standards than those that apply in parliament.
Yeo was also one of the most vocal of John Major's "family values" and back to basics men, until it was revealed that besides the children of his marriage, he'd fathered two children outside wedlock.

They are all fraudsters, greedy taking everything they can get. This is why irrespective of the fact Farage is no better than anyone else, he has made his million. I shall vote UKIP purely to disrupt the polls.

He racks up a fair few hours doing other things when Parliament is sitting, and getting very well paid for them, does our Tim.

But then he is a member of a club paid for from the subs of those who are not allowed in and whose members make up members' rules so vague that they are almost impossible to break. And if a rule is broken his mates will sit on the committee to judge him, just as he might one day sit on other committees judging some of them. The rule will then be amended to be so weak that it cannot be broken again.

Such is the House of Commons.

What a bunch.. I see The female who was in I am a celebrity Dorres? MP for Shefford. has various members of her family named as workers on her behalf. Daughter who lives up North as her secretary, claiming a massive salary. Dorres said if the reporter who exposed the fraudster made it public she "would nail his balls to the floor"!
Nasty piece of work like the rest of those chancers who supposedly represent the people of this country.. She was pulled up for not declaring how much she pocketed from " I'm A Celebrity." she is the Con MP for my extended family.. Will they vote for her. Will the Hell..

They are all fraudsters, greedy taking everything they can get. .

I agree. Kate.

But the sad fact is that there are far too many fraudsters in all walks of life today.

There are not many you can trust now.

Well done, that Conservative Association. I just hope their actions might give my local Association the cojones to de-select our sitting MP, a certain Mr Mitchell.

But I won't hold my breath ...

I could not believe that the woman was on a quiz show last night bragging that she was the only MP who does not claim expenses. (She gets the rest of her family to do so)
