Tory troughing.

With news of the Tory piss taking now emerging more troughing bastards are trotting out the same lame excuses about the system and the rules, and the only tiny difference is that so far they don't seem to have been taking the piss quite as savagely as their NuLab mates. Not that that actually makes them any better according to Obo

Don't focus on the egregious thievery. Don't fall into the trap of "well, at least it's not as bad as it was in Five Bellies case". Look at each expense claim and think to yourself: "would a reasonable employer fund this?"

And of course the answer would invariably be no, they'd refuse to fund it, and if the employee snuck it through they'd sack the bastard.
