your MP been up to no good

Is that right? It reckons that a lot of MP's claimed over £99,999 in one year!

If it includes salary then maybe, but otherwise I wouldn't have thought so

look at some of the distances they live from Westminster. one is 5 miles away, and claims a second home
 
Matt's cartoon in the D Tel yesterday showed two MP's walking side by side.
One said to the other:-
"Now that I know we have been up to no good, the speaker has to go".

In this case over 55% of the expenses are being fed into the local community in staff wages and almost 15% in rent of office space.

Presumably stationery and IT provision is also relatively local

Not my MP but in the neighboring constituency the MP is the son of my old headmaster,he was the sort I would not have trusted to tell me I had a hole in my bum so I am not surprised that the son is in the top 20 troughers in Westminster.Having said that my own MP is only marginally better.

depends if the staff wages are both kids the wife and a sister

somebody on the radio argued they should be paid a similar salary to a high school head teacher £90,000 a year :eek:

I'm completely out of touch with government salaries 90k a year sounds a lot to me
