conway on the take to the tune of £1.5m

Iain Dale may be keeping tight-lipped*, but The Daily Mail reports that Derek Conway has cost the taxpayer £1,535,716.70 in the past 6-years.
Jesus. H. Fucking. Christ.
Slippery Dave looks a bit of a pillock now, doesn't he? Now the Conway family have creamed off over one-and-a-half million of our money, I wonder, could they kindly visit their local police station, pick out a particularly cold and damp cell, and settle down for a very, very long time?
I understand that a lot of the Tory bloggers have criticised Conway in non-too-pleasent prose, and I respect them for it. I for one can stand up and say that I have slated every political party when they've broken the rules, so I can slate this particular family of twats without conscience.

I see he's standing down at the next election. Sadly the furore over Hain and Conway (I think Johnson is a non issue) can only alienate voters
Is Mr Conway be the only member of the commons that has actually robbed the tax payer? There are probably other MP's who have but they haven't been caught yet. I hope that I am wrong but like many other tax payers I think not.
If I was the younger son I would be a bit cheesed off that I hadn't got the same amount as my older brother!!!
Jams, Clearly he's a crook - he should be charged with theft/fraud.
Jules - hey there!
Clearly pocket-money is not a matter of equality in the Conway household. I'm sure other MPs have fiddled the books - and no-doubt the media are riffling through records right now...
