A frontbench peer has furloughed himself despite having a £100,000 cash pot in his company and claiming the daily House of Lords allowance during lockdown, The Telegraph can reveal.

 

Lord Fox, who owns two homes worth more than £2 million, is the first Parliamentarian known to use the Government's wage subsidy scheme to pay himself.

 

The 62-year-old Liberal Democrat frontbench spokesman for business is the owner and sole employee of Vulpes Advisory, a "strategic communications" company.

 

His decision to double dip into the taxpayers' pocket was criticised as "milking the taxpayer" by MPs, who said on Wednesday that he should pay the money back.

I expect they think whats good enough for right wing multi billionaire Tory party donors like Lord Bamford etc, is good enough for them. Don't be so naive to think your side isn't at the trough because they certainly are.
