Jake Berry accuses MP of hypocrisy

Jake Berry has today slammed the current Labour MP for Rossendale and Darwen as a hypocrite, following revelations uncovered in a letter from Gordon Brown’s MP that was passed to Jake by a concerned local resident.

In the letter Ms Anderson confirms her expenses as “appearing excessive”, what she fails to mention is that the letter, sent on House of Commons taxpayer funded notepaper, may itself be in contravention of the expense rules.


Jake commented “The letter is a blatant piece of electioneering sent at the taxpayer’s expense as a last gasp attempt to try and justify 13 years of failure by Gordon Brown’s Labour Party. It is unbelievable to think that this letter admitting excessive expenses claims may itself be another abuse of the expenses system.”

“Last week Ms Anderson branded the new Darwen Leisure Centre as “hideous” yet now she takes the credit for building it. Six months ago Ms Anderson called for a leadership election to replace Gordon Brown, yet now she praises him in a last ditch attempt to save her job.”

“Stop treating the people of Rossendale and Darwen like fools. It’s time for change, and that change can’t come soon enough.”

Mr Berry confirmed that he has passed this letter to the relevant authorities for investigation.
