Win! Our fantastic parliamentary Christmas hamper
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MPs were covered in glory once again last week as the Commons fees office released details of some truly outrageous expense claims.
The IoS put together a list of the most egregious and ventured out to create our very own MPs' Christmas Hamper. Each of the MPs listed below claimed at least one item in our hamper, which cost £59.66. To have a chance of winning it, all you have to do is match the politician to an item they claimed.

DISCLAIMER: The IoS is aware that bin bags, dishwasher rinse and a potato peeler do not a festive celebration make, but we are unable to post perishables such as chicken, yoghurt, smoked salmon or Serrano ham, particularly in the Christmas snail mail. So, we will send the winner the cash equivalent of £59.66.
