House of Commons expenses records show Ashton in Makerfield Labour MP Yvonne Foverage claimed 36p for a 0.8 mile journey last year.
The trip undertaken on 15/11/2013 (assuming that the 0.8 of a mile was a round trip) may only have involves a journey of some 600 metres in new money (3 times around a football pitch)
Clearly the MP must be hard up, although her salary is £67,000 that doesn't include expenses and allowances.
Although if she is short of funds she could also turn to her husband Cllr Paul Kenny, who current holds several different taxpayer funded positions - salary unreported.....
We do know he received a £15k allowances rise from Wigan council in 2013.
