Response: Mr Austin said the report was "inaccurate and misleading" and said he was seeking legal advice.

lol

Guess they will have to be more skillful at hiding it all now.

What are the average incomes of these guys?

The guy from my old district only claimed Ł106,00 expenses in a year
Something like £64k isn't it? There is no way he needed a second home. Most people in Erith and Thamesmead can't even afford one.
