That would be the 'We're all on the gravytrain, so trotters out, noses in' Party?
Tories are white as snow then?,I think they still hold the record for the highest expenses claimed by a single politition award
hangovers do terrible things to you...worst typo ever award
Tories are certainly not a white as snow. However:-
1 Largest claim for expenses in latest tables - Shahid Malik - Justice Minister NuLab
2 Largest forced repayment for dodgy expenses - Barbara Follett - Minister for Culture, also married to multi-millionaire author, so obviously needed the money.
3 Largest forced repayment for dodgy expenses in Scotland - Gordon Brown - PM.
The Tories introduced the expenses system - it was originally 172 quid a year maximum. Under NuLab the limit was more than trebled to well over 150k, and the rules massively relaxed to let MP's spend their windfalls.
I don't defend any MP for fiddling their expenses - they are supposed to be 'wholly, exclusively and necessarily incurred ... for the purpose of performing their parliamentary duties' which seems fairly clear to the average person. Introducing an 'anything goes' system succeeded in buying off the back benches, but opened the door for some very dodgy behaviour.
