Mine is Roger Gale, cannot see his name on the list. Telegraph has also published those who have done nothing wrong which is also a good thing.. As for the rest, nothing but institutional corruption. Nothing I see on this list serves any purpose for me as taxpayer and voter.

If a mere mortal like me got a job that needed me to set up home in another part of the country but keep my original one as well, would the taxpayer fund the expense of the second home? NO!!! So why do we have to pay for these parasites?



I have to keep a home on around £10,000 yearly, and to be honest I live reasonably well. So why do our elected representatives need all the tens of thousands that they are claiming?

I just hope it doesn't bring the return of a Tory Government. I remember too well the last one.

I think they'll be so much pressure on Brown now, he'll call an early election

I was wondering last week why Cameron was so quiet when the Labour MPs' expenses started to be revealed.

I realised why when it came out that the Tory leader had claimed over £62,000 in 3 years. How on earth can that be justified? Thats more than someone on minimum wage earns in 6 years!

Can you imagine the likes of us putting in an expense claim without a valid receipt?

I think they should all resign and a new government formed by those that have not calimed false expenses. For some of them to claim "it was an error of judgment" is not good enough. They are nothing short of thieves and should be treated as such.

Just had some junk mail pushed through my box including a flyer promoting the BNP. One of their manifesto pledges is to stop the influx of 80 million low paid Turkish workers flooding into Britain.

Rocky. They cant publish B liars expences as the receipts were shredded by ' mistake '.

This government was going to be whiter than white and even after all the revelations about them we still have people who will vote for them.

I'm voting UKIP.

please leave the (honourable) members of parliament alone,as they have the right to screw as much out of us

that they can, as they are abiding by their rules,and it must be hard for them to live on 100£ a week for basics like food and champaigne.i also feel they have the right to buy plasma tv's, and dvd recorders, at our expense

after all how are they to keep up with the soap,s on tv, after a hard day at the office.

at the next general election i will be standing as an independent mp,for my area.please give me your support as i want to get my chimney swept and my moat cleaned out, at your expense, and every thing else i can

claim for.thanking you in anticipation. ( the bugger you i,am alright party of the people.)

Oops have we all forgotten we have left the UK's lovely shores and as was our choice, no longer pay taxes or vote in the Uk so what has this to do with us!!!

Although I am sure that there is some ex-pats who go back on a regular basis to sign on and or claim sickness benefit.

So somebody please tell me what the hell is the difference.



Just as a footnote did you know that an alcoholic on benefits in the UK in 2004 was getting £15 extra per week for being an alcoholic. Plus could claim expenses for travel and lunches to out patient appointments plus free prescriptions.

And that was in 2004 so imagine what they getting now!!
