The 53 past and present Tory MPs who have claimed £331k of tax-payers money on their expenses to pay subs to The European Research Group, the hard Brexit lobby group.
Would be a massive story if the MSM weren't too busy pushing Rees-Mogg to be PM... opendemocracy.net/uk/adam-ramsay…
1/2: Here's one interesting example of how some Tory MPs may have been misleading to constituents about their Brexit intentions:

Tim Loughton claimed £2000 under 'Staffing' on his expenses on 1st April 2015 for a payment to Brexit supporting ERG. theipsa.org.uk/mp-costs/inter…
2/2 however, 8 months after paying this £2000 to a Brexit supporting lobby group, Tim declared on his blog that his "status has now changed to regretfully not to Remain, definitely to Leave". timloughton.com/news/eu-refere…
Steve Baker MP, past Chairman of the ERG and one of their largest claimants of expenses donations to ERG attempts to backtrack on blatant misleading of parliament.
