I doubt that anyone was surprised when the latest batch of MPs expenses were published last night.
Covering the last year, we find that MPs have charged, or attempted to charge, for garlic peelers, an air bed, a mothtrap, a hamburger machine, a toaster, televisions, curtains, a stove, logs and even .55p for a cup of Horlicks. One claim that has raised eyebrows is that from the Defence Minister who has denied trying to claim on expenses the £20,700 cost of rebuilding a bell tower.
Perhaps the claim that has made the most headlines this morning is one from the MP who had previously claimed for a duck house who had his recent claim for £10,526 reduced to £299.16.
Snouts in the trough continue. Is anyone surprised at this?
