Tim Loughton Named As One of the UK's most Expensive MP’s

Tim Loughton MP

Tim Loughton, MP for East Worthing and Shoreham, the MP who described Ken Loach’s speech at the BFTA Awards as ‘drivel’ has had his expenses examined in an article by the Argus newspaper. 

Mr Loughton spent an eye watering £25,854 on accommodation, £137,943 on staffing and £21,140 on office costs.

Some of his spending included £79.97 on two new chairs for his constituency office from Staples, £101 on food at Parliament, £130 on parking and £145 on a TV licence. Also, included in his expenses is pay for his wife Elizabeth as a part-time senior case worker on a salary of £10,000 to £15,000.

Mr Loughton ranked eighth on the highest expenses list alongside some other very costly Tory MPs from Sussex. 

ABC Comment: For someone whose livelihood is financed by the same people who support impoverished benefits claimants, one might have thought the MP might have shown more generosity to Ken Loach, something he may regret not doing. Oink, Oink.
