TAXPAYERS had to fork out more than £17million to see the back of the last "rotten" Parliament, it was revealed yesterday.
MPs carried on claiming in the wake of the expenses scandal, blowing more than £90million in the run-up to the election.
Shamed Jim Devine and David Chaytor continued to draw the cash even after they were charged with fiddling.
And the costs mounted with 221 departing MPs spending £6.8million "winding up" their offices.
The huge sum is on top of £10.3million in "golden goodbyes" to those quitting.
Labour MP John Mann, who campaigned to end the gravy train, said: "People will just raise their eyes and say, 'Here we go again'."
