Joan Humble Blackpool North and Fleetwood MP's Expenses Claim
Finally, a full list of MPs expenses has been published. Here are some of the things which have been claimed by Joan Humble.
Whilst there were no moats cleared or duck houses erected for the benefit of Blackpool North and Fleetwood MP, her expenses claims do paint an interesting picture.
Without comment, here is some of what the tax payer has footed the bill for on her behalf over the period of the expenses so far revealed:
Tea bags: £167.76
Toilet rolls: £190.02
Towels (disposable, presumably): £269.75
Hot chocolate: £168.87
Instant coffee: £37.98
Accountancy fees: £1891.75 - almost all of which was for Tax Return completion.
Just to put some of that into tangible figures fro the invoices:
13 x 2 kg of hot chocolate powder - 26 kg
Approximately 7500 tea bags
360 toilet rolls
Interestingly, there is no mention of beverages or toilet paper in the documents linked Joan Humble's official site, the invoices are from Viking Direct, so it is easy to bury these products under the general heading of 'office supplies'.
Joan Humble's Incidental Expenses Provision according to her website:
2007/2008
2006/2007
2005/2006
2004/2005
All the heavily redacted invoices and claim forms can be found on the Parliament website.
Joan Humble and many of her colleagues should remember that people have long memories. When she supported Tony Blair's illegal aggression against Iraq along with Goerge W. Bush, either by voting for it or, in a final weak attempt to appease protesters, by abstaining, she probably thought that it was a wise manoeuvre to show loyalty to her party and leader and ignore those who voted for her. She probably never imagined that the political establishment would find itself crumbling and her party, for which she betrayed her electorate, would fall into such ill repute and disarray.
Along with all the other spineless greasy pole climbers, it is hoped that Joan Humble soon discover that whilst Prime Ministers may appoint members of the cabinet - it is voters who choose MPs. Party loyalty at the cost of voters' trust could prove a heavy price.

Really interesting how her views oppose those of the public in general, but I am not really surprised
Very interesting reading, especially so as her views/voting record in the commons, appear to oppose those of the public in general.
A friend of mine wrote to mssrs Humble to object about her remarks of how Polish workers are industrious and British workers not. He got the reply you find hidden in her expense claims. Yet the good folk of Fleetwood vote for this modern parasite!!!!!
