MP's expenses

Just a quick post.
Apparently some info has been released about what Mp's have claimed in expenses. My MP the Home Secretary himself, Alan Johnson claimed £131,711 in the last calendar year.
Now that seems a bloody lot to me, but I haven't got anything to compare it to. So, if anyone comes across this post and youre from the UK, please pop here: http://tinyurl.com/nycdn2
Put in your postcode and let me know what your MP has claimed.
Thanks :)

John Grogan s our MP (Labour) - £158,477.

Think I'd struggle to spend that amount, lol.

I started a competition thread on the off topic bit of the rlfans forum, and the winner up to now amongst the posters is the MP for Leeds NE Fabian Hamilton, £171,824!
You couldn't make this up could you??

What amazes me is the difference in some of them take the Leeds one you mention against your own.
Thats a £40,000 difference.
Why such a big gap arn't they doing the same job ?
