  Funny that old IDS wasn't so keen on MPs expenses fraud otherwise it would have been sorted long ago.

  Here's yet another example of the government trying to mislead us with inaccurate statistics

  Eric Pickles incorrectly claims that public sector chief execs have had a 78% increase in their remuneration when in fact it was actually the private sector that experienced that increase.
  
  These guys wouldn't recognise a fact if it smacked them between the eyes!
