London, April 14 : Jacqui Smith’s house in Nunhead, South London, became a target for pranksters on Monday when they fixed a blue plaque to it, in order to shame the British Home Secretary over her vast expenses claims.

The plaque was glued on by arts magazine publisher Joseph Wade.

Modelled on English Heritage ones to mark a famous person’s address, it describes Jacqui as “best known for claiming expenses for her barbecue and husband’s porn films.”

The Home Secretary stays in a room at the house her sister owns, and calls it her main residence.

London, April 8: British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has said that she will not resign over the porn expenses scandal.

She admitted that she made a “bad mistake” by sanctioning two adult movies watched by her husband, but insisted that she would not bow to pressure to step down from her position in the Cabinet.

“This was a mistake, it was a mistake that we both made,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

London, Apr 6 : British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith is once again in the news after she claimed 200 pounds in expenses to buy a barbecue and garden patio set.

Smith, 46, who earns 142,000 pounds a year, also billed taxpayers for 335 pounds worth of plant pots.

The items are said to be a part of the "scandalous" 150,000 pounds she has drawn in second home costs since 2001.

The Home Secretary is already under fire after she made claims for two 5 pounds porn films watched by hubby Richard Timney.

London, April 5, : British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has apologised following the humiliating admission that she claimed taxpayer-funded allowances for the cost of two porn films watched by her husband.

The 46-year-old has been fighting to salvage her credibility and future political career at a time when she is already under investigation by the Parliamentary watchdog for claiming the share in the house she rents from her sister as her "main residence".

"I was angry and mortified that I had done it, that we had done it,” The Telegraph quoted her as saying.

London, April 1 : British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith's husband Richard Timney reportedly watched a porn movie called `Raw Meats 3', while she was away.

The 46-year-old used Virgin Media's pay-per-view service to enjoy the skin flick.

By secretly dialling up for two porn films on April 1 and 6 last year, he landed his wife in soup, after she claimed their 67 pounds monthly TV bill on expenses.

"Raw Meats would be amateur girls rather than models and erotic stars," the Daily Star quoted a source in the adult movie industry as saying.
