1. Glitter Toilet Seat
Who: John Reid, former Home Secretary
Reid's Glasgow flat must be quite something - he claimed for a DFS sofa, which comes with instructions to 'plump cushions daily', a £199 'pouffe' and a toilet seat that would make Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen blush.
2. Three Kit Kat Chunkies
Who: Hazel Blears, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
Blears bought the late night snacks while staying at the City Inn hotel. A ‘friend’ of Blears said she had been “feeling lonely” and had “wanted something to cheer her up.”
3. Light Bulb Installation
Who: David Willetts, Shadow Innovations, Universities and Skills Secretary
Can't decide whether it's more embarrassing to pay someone to install 25 lightbulbs in your home, or to admit to such a thing by submitting receipts for the workman's bill?
4. Horse Manure
Who: David Heathcoat-Amory, Tory MP
The former Foreign Office Minister claimed for 550 bags of manure, as well as £5 to repair a wheelbarrow puncture and £6 for use of a chainsaw. Frightening.
5. Fluffy Dusters
Who: Steve Webb, Lib Dem Work and Pensions Spokesman
No flies on Mr Webb who managed to get us to pick up the bill for stamp duty on his Westminster pad, and none trapped in cobwebs either, it seems. Wonder if he donned a pinny and did the dusting himself?
