Politicians- spending your cash in London too



It's easy to forget but there are Scottish MPs in London too (yeah, I don't know what they do either). Under the freedom of information act we now get to see what expenses MPs claim and you'll be happy to know that 2 Scottish MPs appear in the top 5 list of most profligate Wonks.

Congratulations to Angus Robertson, member for Moray, whose £160,776 total includes an enigmatic £10,615 for "other expenses".

Come on down Peter Duncan, representative of Galloway and Upper Nithsdale, who chalked up £17,132 on stationary and postage as part of his £158,032 binge. If he's got a web site I can't find it which might explain why the daft bastard hasn't saved money using email!

They've both got a bit of way to go to beat Croydon's Geraint Davies who got through 176 grand - so do your bit for Scotland. If you write to these punters to congratulate them you'll help push their expenses up!

By the looks of the guy on the right a lot of dough went on pies and sausage rolls. Not to mention cheeky wee macaroon bars.
