Shahid Malik, his house and
the slum landlord: MPs'
expenses
The controversial way in which Justice Minister Shahid Malik was able to run up the highest expenses claim of any MP can be disclosed by The Telegraph.
Since being elected in 2005, Mr Malik has claimed the maximum amount allowable
for a second home, amounting to £66,827 over three years. Last year, he
claimed £23,083 from the taxpayer for his London town house, equivalent to
£443 per week. The Telegraph can disclose that the “main home” for which Mr
Malik pays out of his own pocket - a three-bedroom house in his constituency
of Dewsbury, West Yorks - has been secured at a discounted rent of less than
£100 per week from a local landlord who was fined for letting an
“uninhabitable” house.
Mr Malik also rents a constituency office from the same businessman, Tahir
Zaman.

Why do I harp on about this crook? Because he insulted all veterans by his unanswered diatribe related to all of us who served in Ulster.
When I complained to my MP, Gordon Marsden, I was dismissed with an off-handed comment that it was not within his remit.
Surely it is not within any former soldier's remit to vote for such dross?
Shady Malik would claim for a Wendy House in his garden:or a tent to make his supporters feel at home.
