Here’s another one! https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s.....ms-over-23433791.ampEven you Golly cannot justify 250k in expenses, obscene amount!
£160,000 of that is staffing costs for a total of 16 people she employs. £52,000 is rent for her accommodation & office- most Tory MPs are fortunate to have "free" office space in their local conservative club building but SNP MP's don't have that luxury. Travel costs of around £32,000. Those three alone total £242,000. Like I said before, democracy costs money. If you don't allow MPs the expenses to do their job properly then we will all be short changed.

16 Staff to follow her around, who does she think she is Mariah Carey? I would wager that she claims the full staffing limit, and this is the problem, they were banging on about austerity for years but it never stopped some from claiming the full whack. I heard a story on the radio today about all MPs to receive Laptops to work from home due to Covid, now I’d hazard a guess most if not all already own a perfectly good laptop, but you can guarantee most if not all will still take from the public purse, absolute pigs some of them.

I know Sturgeon hasn’t quite got her hands on the Trident codes yet but I don’t think we want her using her home laptop for work purposes. Not when Sturgeon knows the Irn Bru recipe. Better her husband saves that for photoshopping Alex Salmond’s face on to tubby bodies on revenge pörn sites.

Where she went wrong was claiming the money for justifiable expenses and not for moat cleaning, house renovations, or a nice new house for the pet ducks.

I'll make a last attempt before I give you up as a troll. Her staff won't follow her around. The majority will be manning offices in the constituency dealing with the casework that being an M.P. attracts. I have no idea what the demographic of her constituency is but like Grimsby I should imagine the work is plentiful.

If only you knew how condescending you come across! As a hard working tax payer I’m right to question discrepancies between our MP’s. Take Tim Loughton for a random example conservative MP for Eastbourne with a population of over 100,000 yet he only needs 5 staff members! Just because you can take the full amount doesn’t mean you should.

Perhaps you ought to ask your local Tory MP about tax avoidance. They are experts in the field.

I’m often in contact with Mr Vickers, so do tell more Ginny?
