Not an expenses claim, but her planning application.
Well My MP, Rosie Winterton lives very close to me, on my street to be precise. You could tell which house as it’s the one which often had Prescott’s Jag outside together with his special branch BMW while he came shagging on the weekend. Anyway, what’s interesting is why her latest planning application has been deemed unsuitable for out prying eyes.
Here’s the planning history for the past few years

Taken from the council planning website. You can click on each of the first four and see the details, but on the last one when you click it all you get is:
Sorry, the details of this application cannot be displayed as Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council have deemed it confidential.
So what’s so special about this Dormer Window? Was there extra soundproofing to protect the neighbours sensibilities? Also, not publishing the first/second homes designation means it’s not possible to tell whether she built her orangery out of wages or allowances.
It’s not like she’s had a terribly successful career as a minister, having been in oversight of banking and pensions while they were all busy dealing in dodgy mortgages, renegotiating dentist contracts, that went well too. She’s just been moved from junior post to junior post staying just long enough to screw something up, then when she’s been about to get the boot a call comes in from Hull saying you can’t sack her, she’ll squeal, so she gets another sideways move. She’s back to Pensions now, so listen for the sound of the ball being dropped(again).
