Another proof that the Communications Allowance should be axed

We are grateful to Andy Percy - our PPC in Brigg and Goole - for alerting us to this latest example of taxpayer-funded propaganda. Using the Communications Allowance - something David Cameron has promised to abolish - these two Labour MPs have placed an advert in the Scunthorpe Telegraph talking about all the wonderful things that Labour has done for us and promoting their websites. By not mentioning Labour they stay within the rules but it's a disgraceful use of taxpayers' money.
