David Lammy Strikes Again!

I’m beginning to really warm to David Lammy.

Perhaps I was too quick to write him off as a man who simply abused his position and the trust afforded to him by the poor schmucks good people that voted him in. There’s much more to him.

You’ll recall the business about his expenses. You know, how he claimed £25,263 for that handy second home between April 2003 and March 2004. Apparently the commute from Tottenham to Westminster is an absolute killer.

Well, old Dave is back.

On the face of it, Lammy’s leaflet delivered door to door in his Tottenham constituency is a good thing. A noble thing. ‘Local Accident & Emergency Under Threat’ blasts a bold red headline. He’s actually campaigning against a decision of the very government he is a Minister in.

Now you may say that shows character. A bit of daring do. But if you’re that at odds with your own party, isn’t this an indicator you need to either cross the floor or …quit?

‘I’m deeply concerned’ , says Dave. Dave, you’re not the only one mush.

Not only he is campaigning against his own government in order to save his own neck come May, he’s sent the bill to … his constituents.  At the bottom of the brochure lies the small print: “This publication is funded from the Communications Allowance”.

The rules say: The Communications Allowance provides funds to allow you, as a Member of Parliament, to communicate proactively with your constituents and inform them about your Parliamentary duties. You may claim up to £10,000 per year from this allowance.

So that’s all just dandy then.

Labour may be out of office, but they’re still busy picking the last pennies from public purse. Bless ’em.

    As one of his constituents, i’d say that Lammy is a muppet who seizes onto any opportunity for a high profile soundbyte. He’s a typical modern day career politician in every way, educated in law at a very famous US university and with little or no relative experience of the life that his constituents are leading. That said, i’m not sure i’m quite getting the point of this latest HH comment, other then the fact that it seems to regard anyone with any desire to keep Spurs at WHL /in Tottenham as the enemy. Lammy brokering a meeting for Levy with the government minister in charge of such things with a view to getting government assistance for this purpose can only be a positive thing can’t it? If Lammy sees the fight to keep Spurs where they are as his moment to climb the political ladder, then at least we’ll know he’s got all the motivation he requires to make it happen.

      All politicians should have had to had a proper job for 10 years before they can be considered for an MP role. There is nothing worse than a money grabbing career politician. How many disappeared when they were going to look more closely into expenses? That tells us they are only in it for the money. And as for that last lot deliberatley trying to put the countries finances in such a mess, when they knew they would not get re-elected, that they would get voted back in in 5 years is an absolute disgrace. Blair stopped a police investigation into him, not time for these crooks.

    lem is Just before our gov Baled the greedy bastard loan sharks out of the depts of losing all our savings and pensions. Lammy stashed some cash behind the speakers chair about 100 million just in case is beloved Spurs needed some help building a new stadium. The big problem is John Bercow is sat on it and he is a Tory so poor Lammy has has told the destroyers Cameron and Glegg if he tells them where the 100 million is will he lend Tottenham 50 millon. At the moment they are thinking about it with Mad Boris having the casting Vote that is what i have heard anyway.
