Leading MPs' expenses to be released today
"Speaker Michael Martin will release details today of expenses claimed by MPs including Prime Minister Gordon Brown, after the House of Commons authorities decided not to challenge a ruling under freedom of information laws.
The release will provide a breakdown of how much was spent under different allowance categories, such as stationery, IT equipment, travel for the MP and spouse and groceries".
Why on earth are MPs allowed to claim expenses for groceries?
UPDATE: Expenses of party leaders revealed
"Tony Blair claimed £116 to pay for his TV licence, Gordon Brown claimed £2,000 for cleaning and ex-Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott £4,000 for food in the space of a year, new details of MPs' expenses released have shown".
"A table showing of Heather Brooke's request into annual ACA claims, broken down into categories of expenditure".
MPs' expenses in full
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
