The blog formerly known as "Angus Nicolson - an incredulous eye on the isles" this was the blog of an ordinary, boring, former Councillor in the Western Isles of Scotland.
Angus is taking a sabbatical to be with his young family

Why do WE have to pay another £600,000 per year for a so called audit committee when the Torygraph have done it for us for nothing? They don't get it do they(?) They think yet another self regulating body is going to make us feel better about it all. Disolve parliament and let's get at them in the ballot box. Right now I would like a £65K salary and on pain of death I would not be claiming to have my tennis court repaired or for the purchase of a dozen boxes of Guga biscuits from the deli at Port of Ness.
As at least one other writer has commented, once MPs' expenses are being audited by a private company, they will no longer be suspectible to Freedom of Information requests.
