    Benefits cuts scrapped now.
    Well done Mr Crabb. It is obviously your decision, Cam and Gideon would never climb down and do a U-turn, would they?

    Looks like I've had a mare here.
    I could have sworn they said this on the BBC news last night, but haven't seen or heard of anything since. Sorry

    Is he the guy that made over £170k profit on a flat in London using taxpayers money to refurbish it?

    Sorry misread your post. Though you said he had claimed 170,000.

    He claimed 8,000 pound expenses on the flat. Bought it for about 65000 in 1997 and sold it for 240,000 10 years later.

    Not exceptional by the rise in London values over the period.

    From wiki:
    During the 2009 parliamentary expenses scandal, it was revealed that Crabb claimed £8,049 on the refurbishment of his flat in London, including "£500 for a goose down duvet and corner TV unit.".[25] He then sold the flat for a profit and "flipped" his second home expenses claim to cover a house that was being purchased for his family in Pembrokeshire, allowing him to claim £9,300 in stamp duty and £1,325 per month in interest on its mortgage.[25] A room in another flat of a fellow MP was designated as his main home and he paid half of the rent there.[25] At the time he said, "I haven’t claimed for things like plasma TVs, even though the rules allow it. My claims were always within the letter and the spirit of the rules."

    The poster said that he was in the majority as Britain is a conservative nation, I pointed out only 24% is Conservative

    only 24% voted for them. turnout was 66%. for all you know, the other 34% that didnt vote is also conservative. I wouldn't say britain is conservative though. England certainly is.
