I'm no saint but one thing I am not is greedy. Unlike MPs on all sides of the House who seem incapable of moving an inch without filling in their expenses forms.
One expects the Tories to be unpalatable toffs. One does not expect Labour Mps to be swimming in so much money that they claim the doubtful accolade of being the wealthiest MP in Parliament.
Shaun Woodward was of course once a Tory, He has four homes, land in the West Indies and a Northern constituency where he was parachuted in following his defection.
Rather amusingly, his CLP is actually affiliated to the LRC thanks to the stalwart efforts of the CLP Sec John Wiseman. But it's not very funny, is it, that this greedy Parliamentarian claimed £21,417 for his second home expenses despite being as rich as Croesus.
Likewise Quentin Davies, another defector from the Tories, who submitted a claim for more than £20,000 for work to the bell tower and roof of his 18th century mansion - a £5million pad in Lincolnshire.
These two jokers ( at our expense) make a nonsense of any attempt by Labour to adopt a "class war" strategy in the run-up to the General Election. What on earth are they doing , frankly, in the Labour Party? And why on earth did we allow them in ? Their sheer avarice and waste of public money is an absolute disgrace.

Shaun Woodward and Quentin Davies are very different beasts in terms of their attitudes towards social issues.
Actually I don't agree. I strongly think that everyone should claim their expenses because otherwise those who need them will find it more difficult to justify them. However, I think those who do not need them should then donate the money elsewhere.
