In May 2005, Fallon claimed £499 for a television, £69.50 for a digital box and £35 for a radio. Mr Fallon sold the flat in December 2006 for £295,000, making a profit of £52,000. He claimed £1,774.50 in legal fees relating to the sale. In the two months before the sale, he claimed £126 for boiler repairs, £170 for repairs to bathroom tiles, £282 for electrical repairs and £225 for carpet cleaning.
He then bought another flat in Westminster for £728,000. Soon after moving in, he claimed £1,795 for a bed, £1,500 for curtains and almost £1,000 for a freezer, washer-dryer and deep cleaner. The claim for the bed was reduced to £1,000.
He then began claiming the interest on the mortgage for his new flat, which came to about £2,100 per month... Will this affect your vote like it has mine? I now don't know what to think...

Thanks for that.

Hasn't this bloke every heard of Freecycle - he can get all kinds of things including free beds.

I wouldn't vote Tory anyway, and that is just one of the many reasons.

Hasn't he heard of Freecycle?. They have loads of stuff for free. It was totally unnecessary. There is are cheap charity shop furniture places around why didn't he go to one of them? or even get one from the back pages of the Courier?

Do please let us know who this whiter than white party is that you're going to vote for. I'd love to find out which party it is whose MPs have never claimed perfectly legitimate expenses.

Lib Dems. There. That's who.
