Kemi Badenoch bills taxpayers for nearly £3,000 worth of electricity bills
The Tory leader claimed £1,800 worth of bills in February 2024, followed by another £1,000 a month later - both for her second home which is only just far enough away from London to claim expenses Kemi Badenoch claimed nearly £3,000 of taxpayers cash to pay the electricity bills at her second home - months after her government scrapped assistance for struggling households. The last government's Energy Bills Assistance scheme came to an end in June 2023. But the following February, Ms Badenoch billed taxpayers for more than £1,800 worth of electricity bills. And in March, she submitted a second claim for another £1,000. Government records suggest it's the first time Ms Badenoch has claimed for energy bills since moving into her Kent country pile, which she shares with her banker husband Hamish. The couple share a huge grade II listed farmhouse with six bedrooms - with rent paid for on expenses. Her banker husband subsidises the rent - as it is over the limit for the amount she can claim - but the Mirror revealed earlier this year that Mrs Badenoch has landed the taxpayer with the full council tax bill. The Mirror revealed earlier this year that Ms Badenoch claims the maximum level of Council Tax for her property - nearly £4,000 last year - despite it being just a stone's throw away from London. Ms Badenoch made the 23rd highest accommodation claim out of 664 MPs last year and yet her Essex constituency borders the 'London area' where MPs are not allowed to claim any second home expenses at all. The claims are within the rules but raises awkward questions for the outspoken right-winger, who says she wants a "smaller state" and champions lower Government spending. At the time the electricity bill claims were submitted, Ms Badenoch was business and trade secretary, earning almost £160,000 a year - more than four times the national average salary. Ms Badenoch's spokesman did not respond to a request for comment. Ms Badenoch came under fire this week after calling for measures to drive down energy bills to be scrapped. The Tory leader demanded an end to the windfall tax on oil and gas firms and for a ban on new licences in the North Sea to be lifted. She was accused of being "on the side of oil and gas giants rather than working Scots". The energy levy was brought in when Rishi Sunak was in power when profits exploded following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But in a speech to Scottish Tories Ms Badenoch claimed the windfall is "long gone" and claimed Labour is "killing this industry".

This deal is the most affordable one out there, with Amazon selling the same tool at a reduced price of £135.99. The cordless patio cleaner guarantees a 'powerful performance' with its dual speed settings, ensuring your outdoor area stays spotless and free from dirt or weeds. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here The additional handle ensures optimal control and ease of use, and there's a handy hosepipe connection, allowing the device to be used for both wet and dry cleaning. The patio cleaner boasts a run time of 20 minutes and features interchangeable cleaning brushes capable of reaching into the smallest spaces to eliminate dirt, debris and weeds. As reported by The Express, B&Q is selling a similar product, the cordless Ryobi 18V ONE+ 2Ah Patio Cleaner, priced at £129. This model is perfect for 'tackling weeds and grass amidst bricks, paving slabs, and beyond', and features a telescoping height adjustment handle. The patio cleaner is currently on sale (Image: Yimbly ) The Yard Force 20v Patio Cleaner boasts a five-star rating on the Yimbly website. A satisfied customer remarked: "Really pleased with this patio cleaner. It cleaned up all the old paint and dirt off my decking with not too much effort and charged up really quickly." Another user shared: "It has done the job well, particularly my drive which is made up with irregular shaped blocks making it tedious by hand. 100% quicker and less backbreaking with the patio-cleaner." The forward and backward motion allows the brushes to get right into the smallest of crevices to remove debris and weeds (Image: / Yard Force ) Meanwhile, over on Amazon, a pleased buyer commented: "I have used it only twice, but I am very happy with the performance. The battery lasts long enough to clean my entire patio. It's light and super manoeuvrable, it goes forward and backwards without any effort. Water attachment is a big feature as you can scrub your patio and use water for great finish. I am a very happy customer." Not all reviews were positive, however, as one dissatisfied customer commented: "Tried to clean the patio, but it kept stopping and cleaned nothing." The battery provides a 20 minute run time (Image: / Yard Force ) Conversely, another shopper was thoroughly impressed with the Yard Force 20v Patio Cleaner: "Normally I'd be cleaning my deck by hand, which takes quite some doing... With the arrival of this battery-driven brush, it was a much simpler task. It took a couple of charges to cover the whole space, which is a great opportunity to take a break, have a coffee and enjoy the weather. Article continues below "The brush can rotate in either direction, away from you or towards. I found towards easier to control. However, it does fling all the crud over your legs and leaves you soaked, so sunny day shorts and bare feet followed by a shower. What was something that needed doing but was too easy to put off is now easily achievable."
