One MP is happy today

Believe it or not there is one MP who was positively beaming after getting his letter from Sir Thomas Legg today.

Tory Alan Duncan was told that he needed only to pay back £218 for his gardening expenses – the member for Melton has already paid back £4,700.

Theoretically he could re-claim £4,482 – though he won’t of course, because it would be political suicide.

Duncan went on to get sacked from his shadow cabinet position after getting caught on a secret film saying MPs were being treated “like sh*t” over expenses.

By the sounds of it many other MPs who received letters today would now agree with him.
