A North Shields man with 30 previous convictions has said he receives around £3,750 a month in benefits and gives £100 monthly to the Labour Party. Stephen Nott, 61, admitted burglary after changing the locks on a family's holiday flat and claiming squatters' rights. He was given a suspended nine-month sentence in Newcastle. He says the payments must cover rent, council tax, bills and debts.
