I completely disapprove of Yvette Cooper and consider her to be a malignant worm.
I don't mind the fact that she was parachuted in to a Labour seat so safe that a donkey could have won (always providing it was wearing a red rosette).
But I do mind the fact that she hardly ever sets foot in the constituency. She lives in London, her children live in London, her husband lives in London and they have nothing whatsoever to do with Yorkshire.
Indeed it could be argued that the only significance of Yorkshire to Yvette Cooper is that it entitles her and her husband to make large capital gains tax free at the taxpayer's expense.
This from Wiki:
"In May 2009, it was revealed that together with her husband they 'flipped' the designation of their second home three times in a 24-month period, despite being warned several times by expenses officials that their claims were excessive [7]. Yvette Cooper and her husband, Labour minister Ed Balls, bought a four-bed house in Stoke Newington, north London, and registered this as their second home (rather than their home in Castleford, West Yorkshire) in order to qualify for up to £44,000 a year to subsidise a reported £438,000 mortgage under the Commons Additional Costs Allowance. This is despite both spouses working in London full-time and their children attending local London schools.[8]"
A charmless couple. What price integrity, eh?
