Off the top of my head, Eric Pickles's department spent around £40K on biscuits last year – that was £10K UP on the previous year.

And this is the same Pickles who has been ordering councils to cut spending by not providing mineral water at meetings.

That's curious. Do they have anything at all to show for it?

I thought it takes the biscuit, but policy has swiftly moved on. According to Newsthump, the winter fuel allowance could become a thing of the past as the government announced plans for fat people on benefits to be melted down to fuel the heating systems of the elderly.

Ah, but only poor fat people or disabled ones or any on any sort of benefits. Obviously.

Must be, most benefits cheats get serious jail time. IIRConly three MPs have seen the inside of a nick for their thieving of public funds
