Who is missing from the Telegraph's roll of shame?

Anand

You forgot piggie number 1, Jackie Smith has not been ripped a new one by the Telegraph either!

Vulture

What abt 'Postman Pat' Johnson? I haven't seen his name featured anywhere - surely a likelier leadership candidate than little Millipede minor.

Rick

Looks like the Telegraph's thought this one through. The first thing I thought when I heard about the publication was how many headlines could they have milked this for? Not realsing that the best was to be saved for later.

Willliam Blakes Ghost

Byrne
Brown N. (Chief Whip)
Jowell (No ACA?)
Hughes

Moraymint

My money's on your latter assumption. This is turning into a rout isn't it? How long before the markets twig that whilst the UK Government fights for its miserable stench of a life, there's nobody on the Bridge?

Mrs Moraymint is now ramping up the rate at which she stocks up on life's essential supplies. When the SHTF (second half of this year), all hell will break loose.

Bear in mind too that the oil price is now shooting up at an annualised rate of 400%, and our money supply (M4) is rocketing at 18% pa (we are, after all, now printing money).

These minor economic details - heralding, er, armageddon - are getting lost in the deafening political noise.

Just what is a citizen expected to do under these circumstances? It's like we're living in some black, Kafka-esque novel.

This is the United Kingdom isn't it? Once one of the finest and most respected nations on earth.

Nice work Gordon.

Humpty-Dumpty

Out of that list, I'd back Purnell as having a doosie of an expense claim list. I'd suspect a Sunday publication - they've hooked the DT readers for tomorrow, a Sunday splash would pull in any Mail/Times/Observer stragglers.

I cannot believe David Milliband tried to claim for a pram and 'baby essentials'. What a flaming cheek! Doesn't he realise it's him that should be providing for his children and their needs through his wages, not taxpayers. You know like the rest of us have to.

Kevyn Bodman

How many MPs will the Leader of the Labour Party be leading after the next election?

TomTom

Haveen't heard anything about Alan Johnson's expenses, so surely he comes out of this unscathed?

The Bellman

If that's true, how about this as the strap-line for his leadership campaign: "Miliband: Rubbish, but not as greedy as the others."

Insider

Maybe the worst cases will be saved for the full on Sunday Paper treatment.............

Scary Biscuits

The third possibility is that these people have bullied the Telegraph into not mentioning them. Given how craven to the govt the Labourgraph was over the McBride affair, that should not be discounted.

I fear we may end up funding toilet seats for more MP's than poor Prescott.

The waiting must be an excruciating strain on the system.

AndyLeeds

The Telegraph story, and the way it was presented, has a strong smell of fish to me. I wrote to my local MP and said why don't you just release your expenses claim: seems he has tried to get the local paper to come and look at the receipts but they weren't interested.

DavidH

And the Home Secretary

Susan Hill

Hillary Benn can hold his head high too. Only around £147, I think, for the odd sandwich. Has his Dad`s old fashioned Methodist principles, clearly.

Alan Douglas

"it's him that should be providing for his children and their needs through his wages, not taxpayers. You know like the rest of us have to."

Not forgetting that WE pay our expenses from TAXED income, or what is left ....

Alan Douglas

Dirty Euro

I now see this wrong of the telegraph.
The telegraph should publish everyone's expenses now, not just a chosen few, with a few protected!
I am sorry, but it is it is manipulative of them to hold back their info on some of the MPs, but publish them on some.
1) How do we know some MPs who are now allowed to pretend to be clean are actually corrupt. 2) How do we know some clean MPs are being tarred with well what are the telegraph hiding?

They must publish every detail before the euro elections.
It is not fair that the chosen few in the labour party are revealed, but the tories, and a select few in the labour party, are kept safe.
The telegraph have every right to this info in my view but it must be all reveled very soon, or else they are manipulating not reveling the facts.

nick

Considering how close the DT's political editor has been to the McBride smear campaign in Downing Street, it's depressingly possible that it's being orchestrated to further the leadership claims of Balls and damage the Tories. Hopefully I'm wrong and they've got enough dirt to take Balls and Cooper down.
Harman's an inner London MP, so not eligible for the additional costs allowance.
Is there any chance that Jowell's expense claims could link her back to the David Mills/Berlusconi fraud allegations?

Dave Camerons Hedge Funder

Have I missed the entire Shadow Cabinet off your list, or do you mention them elsewhere?

Chris Sparks

Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper don't claim the full amount of allowance it appears but they both claim for the same house. How does that work then? Do their claims amount to more than a single claim I wonder? Surely one of them should claim for the 'family' residence. They both use it one would assume.
