its mostly coming out under Freedom of Information, what makes it juicy is that the MPs can apply to have some of it 'hidden' under certain rules, its this that attracts the value.

IMHO I think its scandalous that they can rack up expenses each YEAR of > 100K.

Simply the Gov should buy a hotel and run the rooms on a non profit basis for any visiting MPs who live more than commutable distance. They all have offices anyway for 'business'.

I have no issues with commuting costs but these should be using budget routes where possible, You can fly Manchester to London City for less than 100 quid return so why are we paying 500 quid a turn for train fares(example quoted from one MPs expenses this morning on the radio for her partner visiting!)?
