WANSTEAD MP Harry Cohen has claimed more than £300,000 in expenses since 1990.

During an interview in a national newspaper Mr Cohen admitted to taking the full second home allowance over the past two decades - totalling £310,714.

The admission comes at a bad time for the long-serving MP after the Guardian revealed he had made the biggest second home allowance claim of any London MP during the past five years.
