Just got an e-mail with MP's expenses...

The biggest claim there is for £170K, isn't it? What are you on about?

Do you mean they've claimed £92M in total, all added together? There must be an awful lot of them.

Yes - do you want the entire list? Mr admin might not have enough space on his/her server for that kind of money...

Not difficult at all really. Those numbers were on the beeb and I thought I had posted them before - a certainly posted the dim prawn ones. If you think that there are 654 MP's then if they all claimed 100k that's 65,400,000.

To hit 92m they need to claim an average of 140672. In most cases their biggest costs were staff costs, typically at the 90k mark. Add in a 24k 2nd home and say 5k on travel and you are pretty much there. This doesn't include their 60k+ salary

Staff costs = cost of 'employing' sister, brother, mother etc at very high wages and the public at minimum cost. It seems that many were doing a 'Derek Conway' and there will have to be many more resignations.
