This is what Loughton claimed in his letter,
so it's a "fact" that the house in Burgess Hill is his "family home" and so one would assume his main home, the one where he lives with his family. So, when he was claiming expenses on this home and signing this declaration, there needs to be some answers forthcoming.
This is the declaration signed repeatedly whilst claiming rather substantial expenses on this house as can be seen HERE , yes, since the big furore about MPs expenses Loughton has claimed to be whiter than white, but if we look back a few years we can see that he was lined up at the trough with the best of them.
What is questionable though (although again I am making no statement on legality) is that Timmy's expenses which are "away from (his) only or main home" are in the form of bills in the name of Mrs Elizabeth Loughton, including up to and over £800 a month for heating oil for his Wellhouse Lane pad, along with nearly 200 quid to service and repair his Aga.
There are also some interesting "food" receipts HERE which include about half a dozen toothbrushes and a load of Cheese Strings, among other supposedly necessary items enabling him to carry out important Parliamentary business.
Looks like December 2008 was a particularly expensive month for the taxpayer though, as Timmy and his family got a new bathroom fitted, along with a load of other electrical work including fitting of lights n the kitchen.
In case you were wondering about the "accompanying note", here it is...
Yes, apparently this new bathroom was as a result of the boiler "packing up", which makes me wonder why we're paying nearly 70quid a month on insurance to cover such eventualities and not claiming on it when we are absolutely forced to rip out our shower and fit a new one. Again I make no allegation of impropriety under law, merely raising simple questions, relating to documents that are freely available under the transparency laws that Timmy has always abstained from voting on.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, an essential part of any MPs work, is being able to watch the TV in the kitchen, I assume that this is so you don't miss Eastenders when you nip to the fridge to grab a Cheese String....
I know that this is all a few years old now, but as Timmy seems to want to repeatedly claim to be practically perfect in every way, I felt the need to draw attention to the vast amount of public cash he has snaffled over recent years.
If you, like me, think that Timmy is taking the piss, then think again, he even claimed £116 for someone to do that for him as well.....
This was just one year at random, there are plenty more available online, it is your right as a voter to hold your representatives to account for their actions, and what better time to show this than during an election.
You employ them to work for you, you have more power than they do, it may not appear that this is the case sometimes, but it is the truth. Say no to trough snaffling Tories in Adur, vote for anyone but them, but remember to vote, people died for your right to that.
