I think this is for expenses receipts rather than totals, which as far as I know Greg doesn't publish, he does however go further than he needs to. You can find them at Greg Pope - MPs Allowances

In the opening post, it states, regain the trust of politicians, or something similar.... Isnt this presuming we trusted any in the first place? :D

Geoff Hoon is the latest! Rented his London flat, and used second home allowance to pay for his constituency home, whilst he lived in a government provided apartment rent-free!

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
 

Andrew, you seem to carefully confine your examples of snout troughing to Labour politicians. As you well know, there are plenty of Tory MPs at it and even the odd Democratic Unionist or two!

I can, however, confirm that none of us in the Official Monster Raving Loony Party are claiming any parliamentary expenses, legitimate or otherwise. We Loonies are incorruptible! ;) :D

Ahh I know its from all sides, just these are currently the high profile ones. We've had Nannygate and others in the past!

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
 

Do you? You'd never think it from reading "Andrew Barrett's Musings". You appear to meticulously avoid mentioning any Tory ones. Perhaps now I've managed to drag an admission out of you that greed and avarice do exist on the Tory benches, you will start to publicise a few of them...or would that earn you a slap on the wrist from your party bosses? :D

No but was from 1979 to 1997:D

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MPs expenses
 

I think the thing that I seem to concentrate on with this government was its statement prior to the 1997 GE Wynonie "Whiter than White Government" I don't think there is anybody that can say they have come anywhere close to achieving this.

I'm all too happy to post about Conservatives or Lib dems, or anyone in fact! Just needs to be current. I have only recently started blogging often. :D If posting about something I thinks important got me a slap on the wrist, I'd leave.

i thought the monster raving looney partys expenses were assesed by how many £50 notes they could fit up their noses :D

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
 

Interesting fact that I pulled from the Telegraph's article

Mr Brown claimed a total of £124,454 in expenses and allowances in 2007/08. Mr Cameron claimed £148,829. Nick Clegg, the Lib Dem leader claimed £149,026.

Wonder why it's more expensive to be in the opposition?

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
 

Brown probably get more chauffering about for free, because he has a higher security risk

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
 

Right, I will be keeping an eye on your "musings" the next time a Tory hits the headlines for some scandal or other!
