Why can't the people of Chesham have a proper MP who cheats on a grand scale ?

Why do we have to put up with a cheap skate who allegedly only furtively fiddles dog food bills and the like ?

We feel doubly cheated.

JB Blackett. Don't forget that Cheryl Gillan claimed 90k over 4 years for her second home in Battersea and last year still claimed more in car expenses from her constituency home to Parliament than other local MPs who live further away from Westminster. So this issue is about a lot more than a couple of tins of dog food!
