I don't particularly think that the claims that he put in were outrageous and they were certainly within the rules. What gets me is that he's probably known this would come out and instead of saying right at the beginning that he'd made these claims for expenses he's been saying that he would publish them some time before the official date in October. He should have just said right at the beginning - this is it, this is what I've done and sorry. Instead I think he hoped that it would all blow over his head because he's not a big fish and not affect him - tactical error there Greg.

I doubt that there are any MP's that have not clamed one thing or another because the rules say they could do so... there is a difference and it's called taking the ****... claiming to have your lawn mowed or planting trees at your mansion is taking the pee... if you see the bloke next to you getting thousands in extra income by claiming within the rules then there ain't many people that would shun it.
