An anonymous commenter (and they want to remain that way as they went to the trouble of using an anonymizer to make this web posting) has taken me to task for pointing out that Chris Mole was using Public Impact to send out party political propaganda using his taxpayer funded office expense account, against parliamentary rules.
I said at the end of the original post “He should pay back every penny that we the taxpayers paid to Public Impact.”
He did not break the rules on using the communicaton allowance, which is designed with the purpose of funding Labour MPs re-election campaigns.
So one year in four he’s kept to both the letter and spirit of bad rules.
However for three of the four years he’s systematically abused his allowances and should pay back every penny paid to Public Interest from his office allowances.
