AS a pensioner on a fixed income I find the levels of expenses claimed by our MPs, and more especially our own MP, to be a scandal.
I find it thoroughly objectionable that so much is wasted on furnishing our MP with a huge 57p-a-mile petrol claim while others struggle by on failing pensions with petrol going through the roof.
I can't believe that Mr Grogan has the cheek to claim almost twice what other MPs in North Yorkshire claim on travel.
Going first class to London - this really is a gravy train.
