Alastair Darling, widely rumoured to be something to do with the Treasury, has been caught taking advantage of the generous fiddles available to all MPs.
He has claimed over £70,000 of tax free bunce for his million pound mansion in Edinburgh by pretending that his main residence is a fold down bunk bed in Margaret Beckett's caravan.
"It's a very cosy caravan," he said, "and Margaret makes a lovely cup of tea."

UPDATE : Jack Straw claims his main home is a bed in a dormitory at the YMCA in Bermondsey.
FURTHER UPDATE : David Blunkett claims his main residence is a kennel at Battersea Dogs Home which he shares with Sadie.

OMG - hilarious!! Sponging bastards!
Probably one of the funniest things I've read!
Such a shame Margaret wasn't towing her caravan on the A38 in Devon during the recent Major Snow Event.
I hope someone is keeping a list of all the troughers for publication at the next election.
