I nearly choked on my bun, because of the laugh it produced whilst I was eating it.

Unfortunately, Jaysay made the mistake of having a go at the Observer here for not stating the facts, when they did actually quote Cllr. Britcliffe as spending £71 on accommodation at his last visit to London.
Think that he was trying to push the fact that this was only a recommended ceiling as other people (like yourself) would think this would be what they would always spend. Just came out a bit wrong...
Very, very few people make anything on expenses as always need receipts to obtain full payment. I used to forget the odd things like cups of coffee, tips, pay as enter car parks, etc., always lost out. Have lost bigger receipts too .. stupid me ..
Like you, not supporting any particular party; just what's fair. e.g. Graham Jones should accept the allowance on the Planning Committee, as get the impression it is something he truly cares about.
