Letters From a Tory has done some analysis on the published MPs expenses for 2006/07 and his findings are of great interest.
Of the 50 MPs who claim the most expenses, 37 are Labour MPs, one is a Conservative. "Labour have 7 out of the top 10 most expensive MP offices in the whole country." "Labour have 9 out of the top 10 most profligate MP drivers."
"Labour have 9 out of the top 10 big spenders on the train."
Labour have all of the top 10 MPs in the category of Stationery and Postage. "Siobhain McDonagh of the Labour Party...spent (wait for it) £49,107 on stationery and postage. No, I’m not making this up. She somehow managed to rack up a bill of £13,900 on stationery, and then spent an extra £35,207 of taxpayers’ money on posting letters - which was £10,000 more than any other MP in the entire country in total."

If she used first class mail only that's about 100,600 letters! That's 275 a day. She must have a hell of a tongue...
