Glad I could help

Don Foster MP and his additional expenses claims for 2007 - 08

I've just added up the 2007-08 incidental additional expenses claimed by the Bath MP Don Foster. (One of the squeaky clean 'uns). Food £3,820, gas and electric £1,512, mortgage £9,974, cable TV £213, new fitted kitchen £3,745 and replaced plumbing £603.

I presume all of these gifts to Don from us taxpayers are both tax deductable and tax free?

As a pensioner receiving just over £107 per week, I feel very honoured to have helped Don in his so obvious time of need.

Shame details of his second home were blacked out. I would have liked to send him an 'Enjoy Your New Kitchen' greeting card.
