1.3mil over 8 years 99% of his expenses are for Staffing travel and Office costs.
For example Mike Freer conservative MP from Finchley is on £1.43 million in the same time frame.
Iain Duncan Smith who lives off £30 a week JSA Is also in the same figures as Lammy near by. As is Diane Abbott.

Sounds like labour party promises, all good aims.

By non conventional means too.
When I couldn't find my mains stop cock and Scottish Water didn't know where it was, their employee who came out to find it used water divining to locate the pipes and the access point. Hidden beneath a lot of soil and overgrown vegetation.  It might have been a wind-up but I had a look at his laptop map and that showed no info as to where my supply came from the mains pipe.

Water yes energy can wait rail and water needs sorting out first and foremost IMO.
The rail franchises are a mess

Utterly bonkers, that one would burrow £500 bn just to nationalize our industries....

What would that achieve?
Would we get better service? History tells us otherwise.
Where would be the competition in the sectors?
Not to forget the huge amount of debt.

GOVT lead industries do not have a good track record.
They needs to be fiscal responsibility and know how to run the sectors accordingly.



Madness indeed.

I actually send him a tweet on Twitter back in summer and was surprised he replied back. He acknowledged that some was spend on his staff and for travelling expenses. He failed to mention he recently visited Soros over in the US....

It achieves sustainability and profit and let's not band about figures like you did with Lammy and his expenses.
I also believe that public owned entities face bigger scrutiny. Take the water companies there is that much water being lost due to the state of the pipes and infrastructure.
Shareholders in UK water franchises took home 6.5bn in dividends and Interest.
That's just dividends never mind the surplus profit they are also making.

The sell off of Royal Mail was a disgrace was sold on the cheap and it's now in-house fighting with its workers again.
They gave workers shares but couldn't cash them in for a few years,a month before the workers were due to cash in shares the share price plummeted meaning shares were worth much less than they should of been.
Then all the vultures swooped in and picked up more shares on the cheap.
It's this kind of capatlist ethos that should be nowhere near theses corporations.

Looks like it was in November 2018, and registered with Parliament;

TheyWorkForYou


                                                                               

I don’t rate Lammy as an MP but, looking at everything else he declared, the Political Leaders Conference in DC doesn’t look like a secret cabal meeting.

Big business will have to pay their way minimum wage is going to be a living wage.
Surely we should pay our workers more and thus becoming less reliant on the state.
Also better pay better working conditions increases productivity and produces better outcomes for business

But is a balance in a world market. If business costs get too high they will just make abroad then import it. Country then could slap on tariffs to discourage (as per US) but then that works both ways.
