I WAS disgusted to read that the Government has awarded 66 of its special advisers a £1 million rise.
It now costs nearly £4 million to employ these spin-doctors to promote Labour Party policies.
That is nearly double what the last Tory Government spent on their advisers.
On May 17, 1997, Tony Blair told Labour MPs that they are not there to enjoy the trappings of power.
Yet, since coming to power, ministers have spent millions of pounds of taxpayers' money on houses, parties and trips abroad for their wives and partners.
I am not really political myself, but I hope that at the various elections this year the Labour Party loses a lot of seats.
It might make the Prime Minister less arrogant, which can only be a good thing.
