The continuing scandal over MP expenses has reached a little closer to home today, with the disclosure in the Manchester Evening News that Paul Goggins MP allowed taxpayers to pay for a £3000 suite and a new garden shed for his home in Boothstown.
Obviously I’m pleased that Mr Goggins likes the local area so much that he chooses to live here rather than in his Wythenshawe and Sale East constituency (his constituents may be rather less amused) but at a time when many local residents in Boothstown and across Salford are struggling with their bills they will be appalled that the MP amongst their number has claimed for luxury items at the expense of the taxpayer.
