No, no, no!

The Cabinet minister saved thousands of pounds after informing the parliamentary authorities that Manchester was his “main” home while the tax authorities considered London to be his “primary” residence. Mr Purnell claimed for a £395 accountant’s bill that included “tax advice provided in October 2004 regarding sale of flat” on parliamentary expenses which are intended to cover the costs of running an MP’s office.

This is one of those facepalm moments.

Seriously? A Cabinet Minister thinks that the taxpayers should pay his bill to avoid the taxes that all other taxpayers have to pay?

Visions of howling mobs and burning brands float in front of my eyes…..
