The Transition Team As A Sinister Cabal

July 22nd, 2008 by BenSix

Boris has claimed that the transition team has eventually cost £213,000, which, he is keen to add, is significantly less than the previous prediction. However, he also admits that seven seemingly unacknowledged ‘transition consultants’ have cost £352,000. The eventual figure - which has only now been revealed - is greater than the combined annual wages of Boris’s deputies (with the cost of that Morning Star subscription thrown in, I think).

A hat tip is directed towards the Tory Troll

    Boris in the torygraph today

    “Whatever the wonders of the British coast there will not be many UK beaches this summer where you can drink a bottle of wine in the sun…”

    A bit hypocritical, given his previous stance on drinking in public places, don’t you think?

    Perhaps he forgot to add ‘…if the Sun newspaper and I have anything to do with it’?
