🙄 The “King of the North” apparently had a really comfortable setup down south…
He reportedly claimed £16,644 in taxpayer funded expenses linked to buying and renovating his London flat, including stamp duty, legal fees and a new kitchen.
And according to reports the way the Dolphin Square payout was put through his parliamentary allowance also meant he avoided an estimated £6,665 capital gains tax bill.
Then after the expenses rules changed, he kept the flat, rented it out, while reportedly claiming around £17,000 a year from taxpayers to rent another London property nearby.
Imagine campaigning for rent freezes while collecting rent on a London flat and having taxpayers cover another one nearby. You genuinely couldn’t write the irony.

We took it away from ourselves.
