Default Its always within the rules

I know the claim isn't much but it just highlights what extremes MP's will go to claim money back. I'm sure 99,9% of the public would just think who cares but MP's seem to be more about money grabbing all the time ?

There is no money in the budget to pay the NHS workers the pay rise they promised them but thank god the MP's are getting a 15% rise?

MP or Councillor must be the gravy train job to have as no matter what your wage is there is always an unlimited expense account as long as you know how to play the game as its always in the rules

Im sure if he was doing his own expenses he probably wouldnt bother with the claim but as his office have done it on his behalf Id guess every single thing gets put on his claim form each month

There's also an unlimited number of people ready to jump on your every move at a moments notice.

Tbh i'd bet atleast 3p that that claim was entered in a daft contest to see who coould sucessfully claim the lowest amount.

I'd go with this, lots of red tape, if they do it, they claim it, would surprise me if the news reports was the first he knew about it.

That said, why should he spend his own money in work?
