Talk:Richard Bacon (politician)

His exceptionally high expenses have continually been known elsewhere however an edit to this page about them as below is rejected as "not constructive". It is hard to see how being among the very highest expenses claimants could be "constructive".

Edit: His expenses record has continued to attract attention as he was the 2nd highest claimant in the whole East of England in 2013. http://www.eadt.co.uk/news/politics_2_480/mps_in_norfolk_suffolk_and_fenland_claimed_more_than_500_000_find_out_what_your_mp_claimed_1_2456098

Even more notable, his expenses exceeded that in the next year, increasing dramatically to total of £174,157.18, according to the UK Parliamentary Standards Authority. http://www.parliamentary-standards.org.uk/ViewAggregateData2014.aspx?mcode=0430&year=2013

Presumably that would not be "constructive" to mention either.

I agree, this should not be being censored by wikipedia moderators, some of them are so too sharp

Norfolk North, South Norfolk
This article lists Richard Bacon as MP for Norfolk North. However, the article on South Norfolk lists him as being the MP there as well. Is there a discrepency here? Kevyn 07:42, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * The Independent lists him as MP for South Norfolk in their list over MPs (and claimed expenses..) 22 October. Gunnar Larsson 21:12, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Universal credit.
How can it be right that a 50 year old disabled vulnerable man who has had to go into privately rented accommodation due to a marriage breakdown  ie a one bedroom house is having to pay £700 rent out of his benefits leaving him £23 a week to feed clothe and pay all household bills for himself. He was told before he took this house on that his rent would be paid and so took the property as he d been living in a friends caravan, but after taking on the property was then told that he had to pay this £700. He has a mobility car which he can’t give back for another two years unless he pays £200 which he doesn’t have. He can’t be classed as homeless because he has accommodation .catch twenty two ! Can you help. 94.193.62.39 (talk) 19:30, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
