Starting at the top...
TB has been taking a peek at the this years MPs expenses claims. As the
Twitterati
have pointed out, it's great to see Gerry Adams right at the top of the list claiming 150k for not sitting in the House of Commons. Oink.However what really struck TB at first look is why the hell is Gordon Brown claiming taxpayers cash for time spent away from his main home? Granted his constituency is some 500 miles from Westminster but surely Downing Street is a convenient enough resting place after all those long hours saving the world?
nearly £20,000
on other properties or hotels? The figure is pretty similar to that of other Scottish MPs who don't have the luxury of the 10 Downing Street apartment, or an official grace and favour property that comes with being a high profile minister, which suggests this isn't additional time away from London or Scotland in his official capacity as PM.Someone has got some er er er er explaining to do.

Oink! Oink! Stimulate my fisc Gordy, you pig!
He'll be claiming for his mortgage in Fife. I think it's fairly safe to assume GB spends most of his time in London. Unless you're seriously suggesting that the PM should run the Government of the UK from Dunfermline??
Oh yeah I forgot, he's on a really low salary.
