If that's over a year, then that means that each and every one of them has claimed an average of over £360 a day (each and every day). I'd be pretty happy to be paid that, never mind have it as additional expenses.

It's not actually their personal expenses, it includes the costs of their constituency office, staff, stationery etc. They do get money for a second home though, which kind of sounds nice.

They get paid £60k a year which would also be nice but is not astronomical.

Anyway, follow this link, pick your MP off the list and scroll to the bottom of the page and you can see precisely what they spent it on:
