A. Face. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-64512690 Quote A former MP who submitted fake expenses of £24,000 to fund his cocaine habit has been convicted of fraud. Jared O'Mara, who represented Sheffield Hallam from 2017 to 2019, was thousands of pounds in debt to a drug dealer, the trial at Leeds Crown Court was told. He submitted fraudulent invoices to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), the body which regulates MPs' business costs and pay. O'Mara was found guilty at trial of six counts of fraud and cleared of two. The court heard O'Mara, 41, made four claims to IPSA for a total of £19,400 for services he claimed had been provided by "fictitious" organisation called Confident About Autism South Yorkshire. Prosecutors said the former politician had used the postcode of a McDonald's restaurant in the city as the company's business address. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I’m pretty sure that’s what the MP for Livingston did with his expenses and he got jailed for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 When I say that's what Jim Devine did, I mean that he claimed expenses for a company that didn't exist and pocketed the cash, not that he spent it on cocaine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyCromarty Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I hear that wee slimeball Douglas Alexander is re entering constituency politics and will be contesting Kenny MacAskil's seat, I thought that after his expenses scandal where he had to repay thousands of pounds back due to false claims that he would stay out of the frontline. Arrogant little shite. And his sister was no different when she was Scottish party leader. She turned up years back with no booking at a restaurant at the top end of Sauchiehall street, (over Charing Cross), the restaurant was a must go to at the time and it was owned by that guy who used to own Rab Ha's in the Merchant City, anyway she turns up with friends and asks for a table to be told by the greeter that it's bookings only and they are full, in a loud voice so that all could hear she shouts, "Do you know who I am", yes replies the greeter just as loud "but nae bookin nae table" Pair of absolute shites the Alexanders. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
