The Daily Telegraph has moved onto the Liberal Democrats today in its "MP Snouts in the Trough" survey. So far, apart from Mr Salmond's sandwiches and Sinn Fein's dodgy rent, nothing on the various nationalist parties, nor indeed the DUP...*
Still to come? Hopefully yes; I'm sure, like me, you're on tenderhooks wondering which of Northern Irish 18 MPs has spent two grand on a couple of tellys.
Update:
Apparently the Telegraph will be concentrating on the married couples in the Commons tomorrow...intereesssting...
* Of course, it is perfectly possible that the DUP, SNP, Plaid Cymru and UUP MPs have done nothing to warrant inclusion in the "Hall of Expenses Shame"...

Why Salmond was included is a mystery or not depending on how you look at it. Perhaps we should be looking at it anyhow considering that 400 plus MP's submitted similar food bills to wee Eck. Normal practice and not extravagent, well to MP's standards that is ;¬)
So why include Salmond if not to try and spread the shite? And hope some will stick.
btw. Labour can now no longer label Tories sleazy, with impunity anyhow. They really are a disgrace in anyone's language.
The cynic in me says that the prime motivation for many of them is Expediency - saving their jobs at the General Election, including Lady Hermon by the way.
I'm sure many of them are also doing for the most altruistic and honourable reasons. Or am I?
We should be glad that some of them are re-paying some money, at least.

"Why Salmond was included is a mystery or not depending on how you look at it."
I'm hoping it (like the SF rents, which we already knew about anyway) were included as some kind of a taster; as I pointed out in Slugger there may well be a few squeeky bums in NI today at what the next set of revelations will show.
Tim,
"We should be glad that some of them are re-paying some money, at least."
The repayments are also for purely altruistic reasons of course!!

Well we can rule that oot, as today to try and spread the shite the Daily Record ran a story that simply dressed up average normal claims of an SNP MP. They are trying to spread the keek obviously.
You can go on hoping ma aul son.
You're thinking in the wrong direction entirely Tony.
All may be revealed tomorrow;)
Gotye ;¬)
What a multilayered partisan individual person you are. All is indeed revealed, and indeed comes from not unexpected quarters.
