And leaving people at home worrying about heating bills, food bills , mortgage rates ! Telling Nurses , ambulance drivers , Drs , teachers etc etc that there is no money to pay them so they don’t use food banks ! Sickening
Gotta spend it somewhere.
Not like he is frittering it all away on hair stylists.
Apparently £177 per person for a meal is within FDCO rules and an appropriate use of public money.
Last time I had a job that allowed me to claim back expenses on a work trip, I could spend £20 per day for dinner.
I think I can understand why the government is saying there isn’t enough money to solve problems. They’ve spaffed it all on dinner.
Edit: a civil servant commented that their daily allowance is £25. Interesting that a civil servant can claim £25 for a whole day, but this trip apparently required 7 times that for a single meal.
£4445 for dinner for 24 people, in New York, sounds perfectly reasonable and is within the rules.
For added context, the company I work for just spent £150 per head on the company Christmas party. HRMC allows for that to be put down as business expense.
The Daily Mirror and the people complaining seriously need to get over themselves. This is how much things cost these days, especially in a city like New York.
​
Edit: The total daily subsistence rate for the Civil Service and the Armed Forces, for New York City, comes in at $177 per day. That does not include accommodation.
£185 a head in New York (which of course would include a generous tip of over 20% the waiters!) sounds perfectly reasonable. This is HM Government and official business. America is expensive
I think he should pay it back. We don’t need a government anymore. What is the point? They bend the rules to their liking. Forget about the real workers who pay in taxes. They should be on min wage, like most of the UK is!!!
The company I work for allows me to claim £17.50 for an evening meal – that barely gets you a basic main course and a drink in a typical chain restaurant.
Are we really surprised? this prick would charge a postage stamp to a government credit card.
Boris Johnson is a massive lying, thieving, cunt of a traitor. The sooner I never have to hear his name again the better.
I’m not so sure that this is quite the “scoop” that the Mirror thinks it is
Its all within the guidelines, while he was the PM on official business with a group of 24 staff in an expensive city
But they got their Sunday outrage headline for the thickos
It’s against the terms and conditions to let someone else use your credit card?
If this man had been born on a council estate he would have been on the Jeremy Kyle Show every day, but since he was born into wealth he’s just a character.
But no money for public worker having pay rise 🤦♀️
This is exactly why there is no money in the UKs coffers to fund essential workers & services. Not for the first Boris, shame on you…
Why not he’s been allowed to get away with everything, why shouldn’t he just carry on doing what he wants that is his birthright /s
So he a dinner with 25 people while attending the UN General Assembly; this seems to be a bit of a stretch tbh…
I want to know more.
Who was the dinner with?
What was the purpose?
Was there anything from that dinner that secured an improved UK economy?
I really dislike the Tories but I won’t cry over an expensive dinner if it turns out that this bill went toward securing a better Britain. These people meet others in positions of power to discuss deals that can improve the UK status and if it were me, I’d be willing to drop £5k on a dinner to keep them happy and get a handshake on an agreement.
However knowing Boris and his mates, it was just dinner and there was no endgame to improve the UK, only their own lives.
Johnson is gone, and with the amount he is earning now he isn’t likely to be coming back even if anyone wanted him.
People complaining about a moderately expensive dinner for 24 people, over a year ago, is exactly what the current leadership want. And what Johnson wants.
The entourage were probably spending £4800 a night on hotel rooms too (£200 each).
The sort of people who are paying thousands to hear him speak will think nothing of spending that sort of money on a business trip.
We are just giving him free publicity.
The cost of living crisis, the NHS crisis, poverty, strikes, are today’s problems, and we should be holding should be the current government to account. This is just a distraction.
I’ve put £3K on an indirectly government funded credit card for hotel stays and daily breakfast, lunch and dinner for just myself for a week.
I used to work for a government contractor if anyone cares to know.
Most companies have corporate credit card schemes for those who travel for business.
PUT A FUCKING LIMIT ON IT
MAKE THE FAT CUNT PAY IT BACK.
Fucking hate these pricks.
So now we know why there is not enough money for pretty much everything and we are on a verge of a recession.
Boris doesn’t care. It’s his privilege to be kept at the trough, courtesy of the little people.
That’s how Tories think.
They talk about people should work to pay their way despite the Tory way being the complete opposite.
How they just laugh, over fine brandy and cigars, in their exclusive gentlemen’s clubs, at the ease of fooling the aspirational serfs that vote for them.
Our money is their money to do what they like with.
Nearly a year of someone working 5 days a week and paying tax so he can piss it up the wall on a fancy dinner.
That’s more than I spent on food for the whole of last year.
Shocking. The public sector is full of criminals milking it! Captain tom’s funds were blitzed on treats for staff! – a joke!
These are the same people saying that rail workers shouldn’t be asking for a pay rise
When politicians want money for something, they always find a way to get it. When someone else wants money they mysteriously don’t have any. Funny
Why does he look like a fat blonde version of David Cameron in the photo? This must be what decades of Toryism does to your body 😬
Depends who was at the dinner and the purpose of the meeting.
If we have this evidence, then how is there not a pathway for prosecution? Current and ex officials should be accountable for their actions.
Alan B’Stard in the New Statesman was an extreme pisstake of 80s conservatives and totally over the top. By today’s standards he seems quite mild
Wish the headers would start calling him a con man instead of ex Prime Minister.
Disgraceful. Using tax payers money. The whole lot should be sacked.
I hate this fucking cunt with every fibre of my being and will celebrate raucously upon his expiration.
Wonder if the public are deluded enough to think that any other politician won’t be doing this going forward?
It’s only coming out of the woodwork now as he’s gone.
How many pages long is the “Boris Johnson is a cunt” dossier now?
Wow, I can’t wait for absolutely nothing to happen about this.
That’s just normal for MPs. Anyone else? The company would drag them into the office to demand an explaination for it and likely fire them. MPs or former PMs? Tis a perk of the job that they can milk.
Ah yes, meanwhile people like me on Disability for serious mental illnesses are obviously the real problem. Us lazy fucking scroungers, am I right?
