RedRob72 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Those headline numbers are meaningless. Without at least a partial breakdown it's not possible to tell if they are ripping the pish.Flights into London City Airport on a Monday and back again on a Thursday are silly prices. Running an office and staff costs a lot as well. Nothing really wrong with claiming every penny for every allowable expense.How about the £400.00 unreceipted expenses they can claim EVERY month on Food!!? FOOD FFS. (This is in addition to overnight/dinner expenses)In how many other jobs could you take the missus for the monthly ‘big shop’ at Sainsbury’s and say at the till, ‘it’s ok hon, put your purse away the Governments getting this one’!? Why should the taxpayer stump up for their breakfast roll or a fish supper!!? Greedy, gluttonous Pigs the fuckin lot of em. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I am aware this was binned at the time IPSA was formed and the expense allowances re-written. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A child could have told them this would blow up in their faces. Was this not one of the things that the Greens insisted on to help get the budget passed? Not sure that they can do much about it now other than plow on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have started all the PR with "employees pay nothing for this" but because they didn't, or worse wouldn't, its now an albatross around both their necks. Greens come across as the anti-business party stereotype, SNP get to look beholden to them. But there's no point in it as a Green policy if there's no incentive to people leaving their cars at home. You might as well just raise business rates. Edited February 18, 2019 by welshbairn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fair comment if you’re going to introduce it, may as well incentivise workers. I’m not convinced Edinburgh has the transport system to do it fairly. They can hide behind ‘award winning buses’ I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Teachers reject pay offer. Not sure how this will work out - not an overwhelming rejection 43% for 57% against in the EIS.SSTA have voted to accept by 64% to 36%.I suspect that a slight shift by the Scottish Government will get a deal accepted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
