While the Guardian has been crowd sourcing the investigation of MPs' expenses, the people of Hackney have taken to crowd publishing the expenses of local MP Diane Abbott.
Here's a photo of a newspaper billboard for the Hackney Gazette, taken on Stoke Newington High Street. As well as giving a breakdown of her expenses, there's some commentary at the bottom.
Diane Abbott's expenses published the old fashioned way
Who needs online databases? The figures are all correct. Note also the correct use of the apostrophe, which is more than most people seem to be able to manage.
Shame about her name, 'stationery' and 'communication' though!
Good points!
Haha that's hilarious! Would love to post a link on my new Dalston website if that's ok?
So she's actually not spending that badly from the looks of it. Pretty moderate, actually.
