Stephen Pound at it again

Rent-a-quote Ealing North MP, Stephen Pound< has been at it again. This time he was spouting rubbish in The Mirror. Apparently The Mirror has discovered that

"The Tory leader, an outspoken critic of "waste and inefficiency", also has four speech writers among the 28 staff working for him in Parliament."

Stephen Pound, who should know quite a bit about waste is quoted as saying

"Not even the President of the United States needs 12 secretaries... This must be the biggest job creation scheme in the country."

First of all that is factually incorrect, here is a list of the 487 people working for the "WHITE HOUSE OFFICE and OFFICE OF POLICY DEVELOPMENT". Of these over 50 seem to be working in the areas of press and diary work. As an aside I blogged last week about the 22 staff on Michelle Obama's staff; 11 of which seem to be concerned with her diary and press matters.
I wonder if Stephen Pound could tell us how many "secretaries" Gordon Brown has working for him. Maybe Stephen Pound could also tell us how many of Gordon Brown's are being paid for by the taxpayer and how many by the Labour Party. Maybe he could then tell us how many of David Cameron's staff are being paid for by the taxpayer. So where's the waste?
