Good news - the trough is shallower

BBC News - MPs claimed £23m in expenses - IPSA

IPSA says it has saved taxpayers £35m in expenses payments in total, although it cost £6m to set up.

looks like the wife can get a pay rise :

It shows that 85 MPs employ someone with the same family name in their Commons office. Typical pay for an office manager ranges between £25,000 and £39,999 a year, although some MPs pay more than that.

Nice to see his Presbyterian upbringing has equipped him with a thorough understanding of money :

The biggest claimer in the period covered by the report was North Antrim DUP MP Ian Paisley JR, who received £100,204 in constituency, accommodation and travel expenses.
