Britain's House of Commons has published its members' expense reports, and the Guardian take account of some of the more amusing claims. My favorite is either "£100 for hair straighteners" or "£70.50 for a locksmith after locking himself out" but there's something here for everybody.

George Osborne £47 for two DVDs of his own speech on Value for Taxpayers' Money
Awesome.
I [Heart] Irony . . .
£235 for an "assertiveness at work" training course. Brilliant!
Oh, Ronnie Campbell's £91.94 for Wickes rock salt â€" "problem with snails" is definitely my favorite.
Ooh ooh! Also: Garry Streeter 82p on a flapjack
The man is totally innocent. I mean, have you ever had flapjack? Those things are DELICIOUS. There should be a flapjack section of the budget. (Same goes for Austin Mitchell's ginger crinkle biscuits)
