I fully understand and appreciate that our MP needs to have a second home in London so that he can carry out his role as MP on our behalf.
What I find difficult to comprehend is the mortgage interest payments he is claiming.
Tony Baldry has been our MP for 25 years.
I'm sure that when he first got elected he quickly found himself a second home in London that would serve as his base, why then some 25 years later is he still expecting tax payers to pick up the tab for a mortgage that should have been paid off by now?
Or is it that over these 25 years, Mr Baldry has moved his second home, making money in the process but expecting us, the taxpayers of Banbury, to pick up the increasing costs of his mortgage interest, which over the past four years ranged from £631 to £1,350.
Come on Mr Baldry, you shouldn't have a mortgage any more.

It's difficult to read Mr Baldry's many expense accounts and, with so much information blacked out, I feel it is better for him to hold a public meeting to explain himself.
After explaining himself publicly like so many other MPs, Mr Baldry will know whether Banbury voters want him to continue to represent them in future.
