Disclosing expenses

Just a very brief post to say: you should check out Robert Winnet’s important post on MPs’ expenses over at Three Line Whip.   There’s clearly something very wrong with the system when, as Winnet puts it:

“[Derek Conway] hired his son – a full time university student – as a researcher, who received about £50,000 in taxpayer-funded salary, pension and bonuses without any evidence of any work actually being carried out.”
