An Expenses Account

The Sunday Mirror has run a second story on Wiggingate.

I see they're going after the 'sleaze' angle, probably to invoke memories of the dire days of John Major's government.
Is Bill Wiggin perhaps David Cameron's Neil Hamilton?

They could be on to something.

It's possible that the very poshness of this Tory govt. could be its downfall. My impression of toffs, since I first encountered them at Oxford, is that they can be pretty cavalier with other people's money.

And they are inculcated with a sense of 'entitlement' which makes them incautious of consequences. This is why - in the original expenses scandals of 2009 - so many of the outrageous claims (duck moats, wisteria-clearing) came from the upper class Tory MPs.

The Labour fiddling was more sleeves-rolled-up, workmanlike embezzlement.
