Millionaire Conservative Party leader David Cameron has told BBC Radio 1 that he needed £680 of taxpayers’ money to remove wisteria from his private home’s chimney — so that he could heat the house.The preposterous claim that Mr Cameron heats his £750,000 house with a single fire is a gross insult to the voters’ intelligence and the taxpayers of this country.
Mr Cameron said that he had claimed £680 “for repairs” which were necessary because he “couldn’t actually heat the house.”
His claim for repairs, which was made in 2006 and included clearing vines from his home in Oxfordshire, was a “basic maintenance bill”, he said.
“I think what I did was perfectly appropriate because I had a second home — and MPs have to live in two places … and there’s a system of expenses to enable that,” he said.
“I paid back one very important claim, which was a claim for household maintenance which included the famous wisteria on the house because, of course, the chimney didn’t work so I couldn’t actually heat the house,” Mr Cameron lied.
The size of Mr Cameron’s house makes it laughably untrue to claim that a blocked chimney prevented him from heating the manor which has at least 20 different rooms — all of which have central heating.
To add insult to injury, Mr Cameron also charges his mortgage costs to the taxpayers at a price of £21,293.86 every year — over and above his parliamentary salary.
In addition, Mr Cameron has a home in Notting Hill, West London and a second in Dean, Oxfordshire. There is no mortgage on his house in London, which is said to be worth £2 million.
