I think all the councillors are guilty of this. Jones admitted earlier that he voted for second allowances and takes them, yet the independent body recommended that second allowances should not be taken. He of course, voted against them first, because at that vote it would mean Britcliffe got paid more because he sits on a lot of committees, and does a lot of work. Nothing like voting against something so you can criticise the leader in the paper for 'not taking up any additional roles so why would he need more money' then taking extra money yourself. I don't suppose Jones will apologise for this hypocrisy.
