Friday 19 June

Overcast and showery today, although not really cold.

All MP's allowed expenses were put on display on the Parliament's website, which revealed such jawdroppers as toiletrolls and jars of coffee. And £400 per month for food when parliament was not in session. The black squares were put across the pages by the parliament's fees office (which deals with expenses).
