Whoo Hoo I wanna be an MP!
Just been checking my MP's expenses claims, satnav,window cleaning,over £6000 for bathroom improvements NOT a new bathroom, over £500 for food over four days at a hotel (separate bill for the accommodation),claimed for a year's rail pass and then submitted a further £150 for rail travel within the same area and I've barely skimmed the surface!
What have you found out about yours?

Nothing juicy to moan about, mobile phone costs, taxi/hire car, local hall hire costs, newspapers that sort of thing.

Yes nothing worth bothering about. Seems to be fairly honest, even felt sorry for him when they never paid his £18 bar/wine bill when he was staying a night in a hotel, the total would have only been ~£83. I certainly wouldna have grudged him it!!

I can't understand why they are allowed to claim for food. Is that an expense? Can we claim this back from our taxes?
I also notice that it is the same (£400) each month. Is he on a 'strict' diet and only eats the same things EVERY month?

Nope.....that's what they are allowed to claim without receipts.

I discovered his middle name was Archibald. If I was going to black anything out that would probably have been this particular bit.
Parents, hey. Gotta laugh
It is interesting that as a whole MPs have paid back nearly half a million pounds or about nine grand per member...

It is if he's away from home and has to buy/eat out.
It's the same for any other company, government or not.

He was named after his grandfather I'd imagine.
He told a fib or two as head of the Air Ministry. One local incident really springs to mind.Funny that...

Another slap in the kisser, another dip into our threadbare pockets. It just got worse...
Friday and Saturday's Telegraph, however, should make for interesting reading...

Sorry but if your whole world revolves around the verdict of any one's paper's opinion column...

If there was one thing that was designed to inflame public opinion even more then it was this bliddy farce with the screeds of blacked out areas of the expences details that the Telegraph had already reported on.
They have no shame.
Their mendacity continues.
