// I hate to say Boris was right about anything, but he was right to claim it as a work expense and so was this woman. It's not a scandal at all, for either of them. //
She doesn't agree with you...
// She admitted the claim "should never have been made" and would reimburse IPSA on Monday. //
For me, it depends whether they were laying the wreaths on behalf of anybody else. If they were supposed to be personal tributes from themselves, then I can't see how it's a justifiable expenses claim.

Ah, the old left wing refrain. It was in the rule-book, so I did it.
Most normal people, and I like to think I can speak for most normal people, don't flipping care. Either put your flipping hand in your own flipping pocket or don't make the flipping gesture at all.

I can see your point in terms of the letter of the law, but in terms of personal morality, the argument does not fly.
The only way a receipt is sent in for an expenses claim is if the recipient puts it there. Why not say to yourself, I am not going to claim for this wreath because it is a personal gesture, so I'll throw away the receipt, as I am not going to need it.
Either that, or get your office to order the wreath as an office expense, if you are happy with the morality of that point - they may be, I would not personally.
When I go and see bands, some venues have a charity box and 'guest list' attendees are asked to put a donation in, since they have had their ticket for free. I drop money in, and never think about it.
If I claimed my donation from the magazine with my expenses, and that became public knowledge, then I would rightly be pilloried, because I had made the conscious decision to claim back an expense which I undertake to carry, because it is the right thing to do.

///So , is it only Labour Mp's that's been caught with their fingers in the till ?///
No, the liblabcon have all proved to be equally venal(that's why people keep voting for them??) It's just that this particular trougher happens to be Labour. I expect if she was a conservative someone might have mentioned it. Or if it was a Kipper, 5-10 people would 'bang on' about it, daily, for the next 3 years.
