Trying to save taxpayers money and he gets criticised for it...

How is paying £160 when he could have got an advance first saver trying to save us tax payers? Saving tax payer's money is not ballsing up the west coast franchise due to cutting corners.

He brought a standard ticket? The original ticket was not £160. Every Politician puts tickets such as these on their expenses.

Trying to save taxpayers' money would be sitting in standard class to begin with .... or paying tax.

I agree he should have sat in the correct seating area, however the fact remains that he did try to save money for the taxpayer by not buying a more expensive ticket.

As for the tax issues I am not going to get involved.

Osborne might as well get a tattoo saying "I am a twat" on his forehead as decline to travel with the plebs at a time when the No Etonian thing is gathering mo.

How out of touch with the mood of the nation does he need to be before Dave gives him the boot?

If he didn't buy any ticket he could claim that the money saved would trickle down to the poor when he spent it on ermine pants
