Labourlist cocks up with chimney sweep 'class war' post

I see Labourlist's Alex Smith is complaining about out of touch politicians and is outraged (quite rightly) because George Osborne had his chimney swept on the taxpayer.

What about George Osborne's apparent £180 claim for a Chimney Sweep?

Unless you were Dickens, you really couldn't make it up.

Yay, nice bit a class war there, no doubt he'll be taking an identical line and complaining about wee Douglas Alexander's claim for errrrrr a chimney sweep.

[Insert clever smartarse comment about chimneys calling other chimneys black here]

Seems to me it doesn't matter what side of the fence a politician sits on when it comes expenses as they take the piss across the spectrum.

Note: I believe there are regulatory requirements to have chimneys swept if you have an open fire, so having a chimney sweep come isn't exactly a sign of wealth. Whether we should pay for it is another issue though.
