. . . journalists giving ANYONE a hard time about dodgy expense claims!!
. . . . .
As far as I can understand the coverage, and shorn of the usual media nonsense, the main problem seems to be that MPs can designate a house as their MP house, improve it (e.g. get the central heating fixed if it needs it) on expenses, then designate another different house, improve that one, and so on, getting all the necessary repairs done on a whole portfolio of properties.
Proposal: any capital gain above inflation that they make on selling a property that they've designated as their MP house, at any stage, should be handed back.
