What would you do with £16k of tax payer’s money? I suppose pay your tax bill maybe? 🤔

    It’s very possible that it’s late and i’m talking a lot of shit. But I think the point was that if you are appointed housing secretary and you get sacked for fucking up your own housing affairs, then you get paid off to the tune of sixteen grand (still on backbench salary mind you), then less than a year later you’re made housing secretary again, it looks pretty grim to keep the cash and the flat and go i’m alright cunts, how about you?

      Agreed, but I think the problem is all the stuff before paying the 16k back. We have already agreed on this. She should have paid the tax. The golden parachute was ridiculous.

      Paying the 16k back is such a non-issue. I wouldn’t act differently about the 16k, you wouldn’t act differently about the 16k. Even the quantity, 16k, is such small potatoes when it comes to dodgy politician’s finances.
