I don't think 'within the rules' is at all an excuse. Especially when you're in public office using public money. Moving your second home, to a seaside home 100 miles away from your constituency then spending £22,000 days later fixing rot? It's blatant abuse but 'within the rules'. I don't know how they have the nerve.

A Conservative MP James Gray not only claimed £60 for the cost of Remembrance Day wreaths, but then sent a complaint to the claims office when he was told he couldn't have the money. He'd 'got away with it before'. He needs the party whip withdrawing.
