All the news is about MPs expenses, claiming for everything from moats to kitkats.  Wonder when someone is going to get round to councillors.  I’m sure there are some abuses to be found, and so we will all get it in the neck.  It is getting embarrassing to say I’m in politics, never mind having to admit I’m trying to become an MP.  

For the record, I haven’t claimed any expenses of any kind for around a couple of years at least.

At least the excesses of the Lib Dems are not on the scale of those of the Tories, who, on the evidence of tennis courts, swimming pools, stables, moats and vast gardens, appear to provide cast-iron evidence that the class divide is alive and well.

But oh, Chris Huhne, did you have to claim for framing a photograph of yourself?
