Well that wasn't my point, it was about him not performing his duties as an MP whilst lecturing people about democracy. It was about his awful attendance record for parliament and his choice to appear on Big Brother instead of turning up for one of the most important votes in his constituency.
However a quick Google shows he did claim expenses as an MP. I am not sure why he said it, it's a matter of public record for the most part. I suspect his most loyal fans would take him at his word.

The expenses themselves are not order of order for the most part, it's just when it's weighed against his attendance record that it doesn't reflect well. Although if he has claimed he never took any expenses it's more evidence of his tendency for self promotion over substance.
