The Telegraph begins publishing MPs’ expenses. While most Brits feel it’s too bothersome to claim for small items at work, politicians are found to have claimed for an ice-cube tray (£1.50), a packet of ginger biscuits (67p) and a small bag of horse manure (70p), as well as many rather more extravagant items, such as moat cleaning (£2,115) and maintenance on a lawnmower (£598).
