A small look into expenses claimed by Plaid Cymru Senedd Members... 16:26 - Jun 6 with 2960 views | DwightYorkeSuperstar | First, let's remember Plaid Cymru's party motto... "Plaid Cymru is working towards creating an equal nation and a nation of equals. Are you with us?" Rhun ap Iorwerth £744 on ergonomic office chairs, £299,99 on a cordless Dyson vacuum, £78 on coloured pencils amongst other things (including a second home). Total claimed - £175,071. Dafydd Elis-Thomas £535.50 and £382.50 on "family travel", £108.98 for a Sat-Nav, £619 for an iPad Pro, £50 for an iPad Pro case, £35 for a dictionary, £4 for a dustpan and brush, further claims for batteries, £885 for a laptop amongst other things (including a second home). Total claimed - £151,775 Sian Gwenllian £540 to translate a report, £604 for chairs, a second home within walking distance of the Senedd, TWO separate offices in her constituency. Total claimed - £138,726 Llyr Gruffydd £542 on a gazebo, return flights to Geneva for a University trip, newspapers, media subscriptions, £399 on a paper folding machine, newspaper adverts, and tickets to agricultural shows. Total claimed - £138,726. Elin Jones £3,112 on sending a report via Royal Mail, plus £1,722 to print that report. Has she not heard of e-mail? Two wall clocks and a coat stand for £56.35, £692 for office furniture, posting a different report at the cost of £2,833, £345 for somebody to set up her computer and other home working equipment. There's countless more examples of truly incredible waste and extravagance from Plaid Cymru Senedd Members. However, my favourite is how Adam Price spent £3,097 (THREE THOUSAND AND NINETY SEVEN POUNDS) one a one-way flight from Palm Springs, California, to London. He said he did this because he, as a Senedd Member, had the power to "shame" Boris Johnson. Yes you read that correctly. He spent £3,097 on a one way flight from California to return to London and "shame" Boris Johnson. I would like to credit Swansea East's Mike Hedges who looks to be one of few who didn't take advantage of Welsh tax payers. Mike Hedges spent just £29 on a vacuum cleaner for example, not £299 on a Dyson like a Plaid Cymru Senedd Member did. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/senedd-expenses-politics-mss-20469363 | |

The most alarming thing I saw was that millions are spent on second homes for Senedd Members who live less than an hour away from the Senedd. I find that absolutely bonkers. | |

He claimed a lot on birthday cards apparently, why is that allowed? If he wanted to send cards to colleagues that's not a work essential but a personal choice. He should be investigated for that. | |

I couldn't agree more. For the amount of time MS's actually need to spend in Cardiff (need being the operative word) none of them need a second home there. For those from mid Wales and further North a halls of residence would be sufficient, it's basically all WG employees would get? It could be on Airbnb then for the rest of the time. Having said that, the same could apply for Westminster MP's. | | | |

They managed fine on Zoom or whichever internet service they used. Why can't we save on second homes and travelling expenses and make it a permanent arrangement? We can spend all that saved money on the NHS and schools then. If they get their way and expand their number by 30 that's another 2.1 million per year in new MS wages then there's their office staff and expenses, they say it'll cost around 10 million, I wonder what it will really cost? After all, how can someone who gets paid around 70k per year claim well over 100k in expenses? It seems mad to me when Westminster MP's have much further to travel and just looking at Caroline Harris, from June 1st 2019 to MAy 31st 2020 she claimed just under 63k. How can a North Wales MS get well over double that? | |
