BBC NEWS Politics MPs 'claimed for swimming pools': "Conservative MP Stewart Jackson has confirmed that he made a claim of £304.10 for the upkeep of a swimming pool.
But he added: 'The pool came with the house and I needed to know how to run it. Once I was shown that one time, there were no more claims. I take care of the pool myself. I believe this represents 'value for money' for the taxpayer.'"
This made me laugh. How can this be value for the taxpayer? I think we should all turn up for a swim!
