What goes on behind closed doors at Westminster (English seat of Government).

I came across this on twitter

5,390 bottles of wine from the UK Gov't Wine Cellar were consumed in 2014-15. Here's where they originated pic.twitter.com/lmvyuDvAD5

After a hard day of dismantling the NHS and trying to get more twitter followers, our politicians enjoy nothing more than cracking out a bottle of claret, if these stats are anything to go buy.

Wine Stats have compiled a report on the Government’s wine drinking habits, and it turns out they drink a lot.

The report not only shows the amount of wine consumed from the Government’s wine cellar in the 2014/15 year (5,390 bottles – which had an estimated worth of £69,433), but also where it came from.

Obviously a lot of the wine drunk came from England and Wales, however our lawmakers also seem to have an affinity for wine from Chile, wines from Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, and even some from New Zealand and France.

And they've just had a massive pay rise

take it like this, England still celebrating WW2 end

The politicians are not the people, they can't afford it,

Pay attention

I'm paying attention Blagodevich is going free from a sentence

of 14 years for corruption in the state of Illinois

and probably will be elected again

Who????

“I think MPs are going to make it very clear that they don’t think this is the right thing to do. Everyone from the Prime Minister downwards has said this is not the right time to have this sort of, or any kind of, pay rise really.”

Even the much-maligned Michael Gove, voted the nation’s least popular MP, gave a firm “stick it” when asked if he would take the money.

So, that settles it, then? If MPs won’t touch the wage increase with a barge pole, surely the proposal can be thrown on the bonfire?

Perhaps it would have been previously, but since 2009 it hasn’t been up to MPs to decide their own pay.
