Lose the expenses to gain something far more important - respect | Mail Online

'The Conservative MP for Ribble Valley claimed a total of £6,268 since June 8, including three £1,200 payments for mortgage interest as well as £108-a-month council tax bills and £60-a-month electricity bills.'

'He also claimed back £808.44 for an O2 mobile bill, £85 for the Ribchester Parish Magazine and £600 for service which helps MPs manage constituents' cases.'

Mr Evans probably lost his receipt for straws, or he'd have probably have claimed for those as well.
