Parking problems – you're paying for Danczuk's holiday parking
Danczuk claimed for parking whilst on holiday in Spain IPSA receive yet another complaint about the controversial MP Lib Dems claim that Danczuk's days are numbered Today we can reveal that controversial MP Simon Danczuk charged taxpayers a whopping £178.50 for parking his car at Manchester Airport whilst on holiday.

Opposition Liberal Democrats on Newcastle City Council have called for clarity and accountability from the council's Labour leadership after Labour's cabinet secretary Cllr Stephen Powers appeared to distance himself and his administration from the council's response to the Government consultation on future of Freedom of Information legislation. Cllr Powers was left visibly discomfited when Opposition councillors demonstrated that Powers' amendment to a Lib Dem motion on freedom of information contradicted the official consultation response in the name of the City Council.
