Council AGM Act 3: Labour leader leaves early to put his snout straight in the trough at an overnight hotel

Having given the wife a 32 grand job and interfered with another party's democracy Councillor Phillips left the council meeting early. He was off to the WLGA meeting in Llandrindod Wells. As you can see from the link, the meeting was on the following day (25th May). It has been normal practice for Swansea councillors to drive up in the morning to attend this. Llandrindod is about 90 mins drive from Swansea.
I'm afraid that when the Freedom of Information request comes back, Councillor Phillips will be personally guilty of one of his first trough crimes. What difference could the cost hotel bill have made to a needy family's quality of life. Perhaps Councillor Phillips ought to reflect on this in his new role as cabinet member for poverty. Shame on you.
