Alan Duncan, the Conservative MP who is supposed to oversee the party’s policy on expenses, claimed £127,658 under the second home allowance and almost £5000 on gardening expenses.

Alan made his millions in the oil industry before he became an MP working for the decidedly unethical Vitol, a company that dealt with apartheid South Africa, did business with Serbian war criminals and was mixed up in the oil-for-food scandal.

Up until a few weeks ago Alan also held a position at Arawak Energy an exploration company owned by Vitol where he earned £35,000 for 20 days work a year.

The mischief-makers from Don’t Panic Magazine take a trip to Westminster and meet with Alan Duncan MP using a secret camera. There, they have drinks and talk about his second jobs and MPs expenses.

See what happens next…
