No one should be out of pocket, and if expenses are genuine then they are there to be claimed, both legally and morally.
As a point of interest, if you had been elected, would you have voted for the allowances to be raised by such a great a percentage hike, or would you have prefered a rise more in line with inflation?
Sorry for putting you on the spot.
