We are greatly amused to see the Public Administration Select Committee taking its cue from Scrapbook when it came to quizing David Cameron’s “big society” ambassador, Shaun Bailey. In April we highlighted his charity’s latest set of characteristically shoddy accounts, which reveal a tripling in publicity spending to more than £90,000 in the period which, coincidentally, Shaun [...]

Big Society ambassador tripled “charity publicity” in election year
A charity run by the government’s official “big society ambassador” Shaun Bailey more than more than tripled its spending on publicity in the accounting period for which he was fighting a marginal seat.

Published records indicate that the organisation not only spends extraordinary amounts on administration and publicity (which happens to feature Bailey heavily) but is unable to account for nearly £16,000.

Shameful accounts of Tory candidate's charity
A charity managed by one of the Conservatives’ top parliamentary candidates is facing scrutiny by regulators after accounts indicated massively disproportionate back-office costs and a failure to account for nearly £16,000. Shaun Bailey, the Tory candidate for Hammersmith, is the Managing Director of My Generation, apparently set up to “alleviate social and economic disadvantage”. The accounts for years ending 2007, [...]
