@parr_craig61423 the Government Car and Despatch Agency no longer exists

[Elle @telleascope]

@parr_craig61423 @NJB198 @WiltsAnnabelle No they don’t. Most have had police protection, but that’s a police risk assessment, not an expense. Most MPs, even senior MPs, use trains (or pay out of pocket for a driver if they don’t drive themselves).

[Elle @telleascope]

@parr_craig61423 @NJB198 @WiltsAnnabelle Not as an MP expense. If she wasn’t considered by the security services to be at threat, she wouldn’t have a police driver.

I’m not sure how many of those people are working 50 hours a week 6 days a week with very early starts and very late finishes with constant travel.

[Elle @telleascope]

@DuncanStott @Theo_Naidoo no it’s because it’s PR lol…

[Elle @telleascope]

@parr_craig61423 @NJB198 @WiltsAnnabelle also only 1.8k of that 3000 a month would be covered by the taxpayer, the rest would be getting paid by her, because the IPSA accommodation allowance is a fixed sum

@paxangloceltae renaming the Chancery Division was tantamount to high treason imo

[Elle @telleascope]

@paxangloceltae Buses are a weird one because each announcement is specific to the location. I’ve heard alight here and exit here within the past year. (Have never heard MLE or “get off here”.)

[Elle @telleascope]

@parr_craig61423 @NJB198 @WiltsAnnabelle Because she works in London and Essex, and will spend at least part of (almost) every week there?

@SirNotTomFarmer @TwisBeats @1974wastheyear King’s Cross was pretty dodgy into the 2000s. It was all industrial estate, raves, drugs, fags. HS1 was the catalyst for modernising (gentrifying, developing) the area. The station was also extraordinarily rubbish back then, arguably worse than Euston is today.

@MTSavill People watched Yes Minister and thought it a documentary. When for the system to work this way, would require politicians and generals to be utterly stupid to apparent deception and control by mandarins. It’s just easier to blame civil servants…

@Shortieyates04 @CameronYardeJnr At this rate big fat quiz isn't gonna have anyone to put on the panels

[Elle @telleascope]

@andrew_lilico The court of law and the court of public opinion are not the same and do not have the same standards. Even if Walliams has committed no offences, it is quite right for the public to decide he's a creep they want nothing to do with. Same with dicaprio et al.

@thrasher_night well he lives within holborn & st pancras

@veganmeowl NUKE THE HOME COUNTIES

@jaeger_program @akkiman you are a loser who has no place in professional process

[Elle @telleascope]

@thebigcomment @linmeitalks If your employer is requiring you to work an avg of 50 hour days six days a week, including travelling twice a week, every week, you would be well within your rights to negotiate a similar package!

[Elle @telleascope]

@thebigcomment @linmeitalks Not the same thing. MPs outside London have to have at least two addresses: one in their constituency and one in London. So IPSA gives them an allowance of up to £20-30k a year for second home costs.

@GeoffreyHuntley @deedydas is being declarative the only reason people bring up nixos all the time 😭😭
