Just a few days ago, the government's equalities minister Helen Grant made headlines for claiming the maximum allowance to cover the cost of a second home close to the House of Commons, despite living in a 1.8-million-pound house just 19 miles from Westminster.

That prompted demands for a clean-up, but a continual flow of disclosures just makes the image of MPs look even sleazier.
