Telegraph had such a list yesterday. I think there were around half a dozen in it. I was under the impression that most politicians had not claimed anything they shouldn't. -- June Hughes |

If this hadn't blown up, I wonder when they'd have realised their 'mistake'? -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials South Devon |

He's the first politician I've met who is in it for the right reasons. Pity I'm in the Reading East constituency. I won't tell you what I think of *our* MP.

The biggest mistake is "flipping" houses and confusing the main home with the secondary home, to avoid paying council tax and capital gains tax. IMO that is fraud and should be prosecuted. The only problem there is that they claim they were told they could do it. -- June Hughes |

No. I meant that I thought most politicians hadn't made so-called 'mistakes' or done anything 'shifty'. I can't remember how many MPs there are but the revelations by the DT seem to have been few compared with the total. -- June Hughes |
