Government inefficiency minister

THe Mirror reports that Jacob Rees-Mogg - the former Government Efficiency Minister - blew £1,152 of taxpayers’ cash having paintings removed from his Parliamentary office after he lost his seat, despite owning a house just 390 yards from Parliament.

The paper says that according to records published by watchdog IPSA, Mr Rees Mogg claimed the eye-watering sum for the “relocation of paintings etc from Parliament” - despite owning a £5 million mansion a stone’s throw away.

In 2018 he bought and renovated a five-story home just 390 yards from the Palace of Westminster, where he lived with his wife and six children.

The property is infamously closer to Parliament than 10 Downing Street.

No wonder he is lost the job as efficiency minister.

I am happy to address most contributions, even the drunken ones if they are coherent, but I am not going to engage with negative sniping from those who do not have the guts to add their names or a consistent on-line identity to their comments. Such postings will not be published.

Anonymous comments with a constructive contribution to make to the discussion, even if it is critical will continue to be posted. Libellous comments or remarks I think may be libellous will not be published.

I will also not tolerate personation so please do not add comments in the name of real people unless you are that person. If you do not like these rules then start your own blog.

Oh, and if you persist in repeating yourself despite the fact I have addressed your point I may get bored and reject your comment.

The views expressed in comments are those of the poster, not me.
