Getting Your Cash Early

Today there was an extra council meeting that lasted 5 minutes to vote in the Lord Mayor and the Deputy. An extra item was slipped onto the agenda by Swansea Labour to give two of their councillors extra cash. The election of Leader and his appointment of the deputy leader is a function for the council AGM on the 24th. However, Swansea Labour insisted that the election was held 9 days earlier.
Christine Richards - The cup overfloweth by £405 for 5 minutes work
This means that David Phillips gets £567 straight into his trough, and Councillor Christine Richards gets £405. In other words Swansea Labour have binned nearly a grand into their pockets as a result of a 5 minute meeting. Barely a week in and they are at your cash already.
