Jim Murphy, the Labour party leader in Scotland, owns a property bought with help from the taxpayer just two miles from the Palace of Westminster, which he let out. Over two years from 2012/13 he claimed £39,372 to rent another London flat for himself.

Scottish National Party MP Angus MacNeil jointly owns two properties with his wife in Scotland. He also owns a London flat in Lambeth, bought under the old expenses system, just a 15-minute walk from the houses of parliament. But in three years since 2012/13 he claimed £42,177 to stay in hotels in Westminster.

angus after spending so much of our money doing that flat up as well.

Two years worth of flat in London 39372. 20k a year for a flat.

Three years worth of hotel in London 42177. 14k per year to stay in a hotel.

Why doesn't everyone in London live in hotels?

Gary Robertson taking him tot ask on "The Biggest Party Forms Government" lie this morning. Pleasing! Jim as expected doesn't answer despite being pressed numerous times.

Murphy just talked over just about every attempt to ask him a question and then ended up trying to ask Robertson questions. I'd like someone stronger to really give him a showing up.

My poor gran is on one of the labour leaflets talking to Jim. Apparently she was talking to her friend and she called him over. My gran despises him.

I wonder if he's got a leaflet talking about when some TA called him over in London?...

My sincere condolences to your Gran. I hope she has fully recovered.

Haha she will survive. She just laughed. He probably got an earful for his troubles

Includes comment on Jim Murphy's arguments on the Today programme today

(when he silenced Jim Naughtie by asking him back when the last time the largest party didn't form a government)
