Another corpse to join Brown’s government of the living dead. The Rule of the Zombies…it’s like an episode of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” but, unfortunately, according to the DT it’s really true….
Glenys Kinnock, the wife of the former Labour leader Lord Kinnock, was appointed Europe minister in a move hurriedly announced by Gordon Brown during his press conference.
She will be made a peer and replaces Caroline Flint, who announced her resignation while Mr Brown was taking questions from reporters – 18 hours after endorsing him and saying she would stay put.
Mrs Kinnock, 64, has been an MEP for Wales for the past 15 years and was a party spokesman in the European Parliament on International Development.
Will she add value to this gang of deadbeats? Unlikely seeing she was reported as being one of the worst performing MEPs.
Still she will certainly fit in well with rest of the snouts-in-trough freeloaders in the Labour Government because in 2004 she had her own little expenses scam going in the infamous Sign in/Sod off extravaganza
GLENYS Kinnock was last night embroiled in an EU expenses “scam” that is costing taxpayers millions of pounds.The Euro MP wife of ex-Labour leader Neil was filmed “clocking on” for non-existent parliamentary sessions so she could claim a £175 allowance.Mrs Kinnock whose salary is £56,358 a year plus lucrative expenses is said to have made £4,550 from the practice.And she is among 36 British MEPs caught in a two-year probe in Brussels.
Even better her response obviously became the template answer for most Parliamentary fiddlers in the current fiasco.
She has broken no rules and has got nothing to hide
In other words just the sort of person we need to help Gordon sort out the expenses scandal….
