Who would like to see the MP's expenses ?
 

Have a look at the file (spreadsheet) and spot your local MP :mad:

BTW, I am sure it is a coincidence but out of the top 10, most of the high spenders are scottish :Suspiciou

Nigel Dodds - Belfast.

He's ranking up there too unfortunately - he's a right plonker too

Martlew £146,799 Labour Carlisle :mad:

Mine is actually not that bad -- and only £1K on IT. I am going to give him a call and see if I can sell him some computer consultancy.

There seems to be an average of 70-80k staffing, just how many staff do you need to be an MP? I'm guessing 3 or 4 by that rate? Some are over £100k!!! Feck me ! Edit to say no doubt plenty of family members in there... :(

Where did you find that Swiss, glad you did too.

Les

Won't that be because they have to travel further to Westminster... :idea:

Nice one Swiss - a good find! :thumb:

Interestingly......

There are a lot of MP's within easy commuting distance of London claiming the allowance for second homes whilst others in the same position do not, e.g. the MP's for Basingstoke and Wokingham claim the £23k, the MP's for the Reading area do not. These are all places from which thousands of people commute daily to London (ok, maybe not so many these days with the recession!!)
Why have they been allowed to get away with this???

It's deffo a scam that's been rumbled! :razz:

from a friend ;);)

I dont think their travel costs are that much higher and anyway, they have their own bloody parliament :Suspiciou

Peter Lilly for Harpenden £150,000 :eek:


Well thats worth knowing :thumb:

I have the cheapest MP in Westminster. Only spent £47K.

Meet Westminster's cheapest MP: Philip Hollobone - Telegraph

There are MPs in there whose constituency is between me and Westminster - I live 13 miles from Westminster - and they are claiming for second homes. I thought second homes were for use when an MP was required in Parliament and couldn't live in there constituency home:brickwall

All part of those so impressive rules of course. No flies on them-until now!

Les :(

seems that the LABs have kicked the arse out of it the most then.

sticking to the socialist agenda then :rolleyes:

Windows cannot open this file :mad:

It's just an Excel file, do you have Microsoft office on your PC, Word etc?

Certainly not, this is my fun lappy :D

Well that's why you can't open it you diddy! ;) :D

Total expenses £92,993,748:mad:

Thieving B@stards!!

Doesn't it work out at an average £147k or so each ? I suppose we must remember that 'some' of it is legitimate, and in the grand scheme, £93m isn't a massive amount when you consider the £700bn we pay in tax (I think Google gave me the right numbers). They are still a bunch of lying, cheating, free-loading, nest-feathering cnuts though :mad:
