Claim: The MP for Erith and Thamesmead claimed more than £10,000 for the redecoration of his London flat, which was just 11 miles from his main home, before selling it for a £30,000 profit, the Daily Telegraph reported. After buying a new property, he claimed £10,000 in stamp duty and other expenses incurred in the move and a further £15,000 for a new bathroom, kitchen, carpets, and appliances.
Response: Mr Austin said the report was "inaccurate and misleading" and said he was seeking legal advice.

The guy from my old district only claimed Ł106,00 expenses in a year
