A LABOUR MP is facing a backlash for putting a Remembrance Sunday poppy wreath on her expenses, expecting taxpayers to pay £17 for the floral tribute.
Marsha De Cordova submitted the claim under “office costs” with the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority , the watchdog for MPs’ expenses. The 43-year-old is the shadow minister for disabled people and a close ally of Jeremy Corbyn. The expense claim, which was logged in November last year, has come to light as the country prepares to honour the fallen men and women by falling silent at 11am on Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day.
