The variable cost of Cornwall's MPs
As you might expect, today's publication of MPs' expenses claims provides hacks like me with endless opportunities for harmless fun. Here are the headlines:
Sheryll Murray - 拢15,755.12
Stephen Gilbert - 拢7,619.93
Dan Rogerson - 拢5,095.07
Andrew George - 拢4,339.27
Sarah Newton - 拢3,877.50
George Eustice - 拢498.86
Stephen Gilbert - 拢7,619.93
Dan Rogerson - 拢5,095.07
Andrew George - 拢4,339.27
Sarah Newton - 拢3,877.50
George Eustice - 拢498.86
So why was Sheryll 32 times as expensive as George? Good question. No doubt more details in due course.

As everyone knows Sheryll leaves an impression that is never forgotten she is such an exceptional person, we in Rame just love her to bits.
Cheers Sheryll.

But as we all know we can play with figures all day.
