I think he doth protest too much

Solicitors acting for Julian Lewis, MP for New Forest East, sent a strongly-worded warning to Richard Grant for saying in a published letter that Mr Lewis "got away with it" after claiming expenses which would be "considered unacceptable" by most people.

I personally think that his claims were extravagant. A bloody trouser press FFS.

The MP successfully claimed £119 for a wall-mounted trouser press, £5 for a "sweater tidy" and £2,369.75 for kitchen appliances.

Could he not use an iron like the rest of us?

  1. Don't you have a trouser press FE? Jings, I've had one for years since I started wearing trouser suits to work. :) As for me paying for one for an MP well...

    Health & Safety regs bar all politicians from using an iron due to the risk of severe injury if the phone rings.

    What sort of kitchen appliances were they FFS, a brace of Thai hookers, one to do the washing up?
