Blears writes cheque to Inland Revenue and vows to ‘rebuild’ her reputation

Cabinet minister Hazel Blears vowed to “rebuild” her reputation after promising to pay £13,332 in capital gains tax she escaped when she sold one of her homes.

Acknowledging “public outrage and anger” about MPs’ expenses, the under-fire Communities Secretary said she had been “affected personally by what people have been telling me in the past couple of days”

 

Hazel your reputation is dead and buried with the people of Salford along with the Labour Group. I hope you will enjoy the constant reminder over the coming months

Regards…
