  1. Gurinder Singh Josan, Labour MP for Smethwick in the West Midlands, gets rental income from five homes in Birmingham and Sandwell that he co-owns with family members. The new MP, who won his seat in 2024, began claiming £2,650 a month in rent on expenses in November. Josan did not respond to requests for comment. Bayo Alaba, who became the Labour MP for Southend East and Rochford in Essex in 2024, also has a small property empire. Alaba gets rental income from seven properties in London which he co-owns with a family member. He began claiming his £1,050 monthly rent costs on expenses in September. Richard Baker, Labour MP for Glenrothes and Mid-Fife, said he rented out a flat in Edinburgh and a flat in Aberdeen. He said his recent £2,400 rent claim, which included the deposit, was “for my accommodation in London for my parliamentary duties”. A spokesperson for Rachel Taylor – the Labour MP for North Warwickshire and Bedworth who rents out two properties in the area – said she rents a £1,750-a-month home in London “to discharge her duties as an MP”.

  3. Two more for my list Mark Pritchard was already on it, Forced to repay 923.62 in fiddled expenses. I've added the rental to that. John Whittingdale, Forced to repay 301.58 in fiddled expenses, is also pulling the rental trick Alberto Costa, and Geoffrey Cox are on the rental trick. They are #488 and #489 respectively on the list.

  6. You try getting any crime report against an MP recorded. I've just had a white wash response from the Met this morning about a complaint on non recording. Rejected. Apparently only a victim can make a crime report [not true]. So that's the murder epidemic solved. Victim has to make the crime report. Plus I've won complaints in the past about not recording crimes. Now I do know its in the system, because I reported it to the CoLP, and they passed it to the met as a hot potato. Two officers have rejected it. So I'm on the war path. It will be off to MOPAC, if MOPAC follow the precedent, it gets bounced back. More than embarrasing to lose twice. Plus the usual, don't answer all the complaints trick.

  7.  @helenb6399  There are ways. For example, before Musk started I was doing the same. I asked the Palace of Westminster security if you could get in without a pass or temporary pass being recorded in your database. Answer no, do you think we are stupid? So I asked the lords for how many sitting days each peer had used a pass or temporary pass to get n. They can claim for sitting days. First response, here are their expenses. No I asked for sitting days and passes. Second response, Peers can get in via the Peer's entrance without it being recorded. So I reply, adding in the head of security, original email, saying one of you is lying. The Clerk of Parliaments, Michael Pownall, sends back a state secrecy certificate he had signed. One of his roles is dishing out the expenses. So one approach, release the full details, which dates they attended from the IT system. Which dates they claimed for from their expenses. Then for those that claimed for any day fraudulently, you've got a choice. Resign or be prosecuted. Or both.
