Pay your own cab fare, Dan

-

BBC journalist­s often grill Ministers about the lack of transparen­cy on expenditur­e, but Dan Walker, one of BBC Breakfast’s key presenters, appears to be trying to conceal that he is claiming a £200 return taxi journey between his family home in Sheffield and BBC Media

City in Salford. He earns about £260,000 a year. It beggars belief that he needs to claim these fares.

Why is the BBC paying taxi fares for highly paid presenters to go to and from work – particular­ly as it has resorted to making over-75s pay for a TV licence? It’s a disgrace, considerin­g most of the working population have to finance their own means of getting to work.
