Another one to file in the “how not to handle the media” file, via the Echo:
MP DAVID Amess ran from the Echo to avoid questions after his expenses showed he claimed the maximum of £400 for food every month for the past four years.
The Tory MP sought refuge in a hairdressers’ as he tried to duck the issue.
He eventually made his escape when a car arrived at the salon in Westcliff and drove him away, with Mr Amess hiding his face behind a leaflet.
The Southend West MP’s extraordinary actions came after it emerged he claimed the maximum £19,000 on expenses for food over the past four years.

Perhaps he thought the Echo reporters were on Cake. 😉
Least he could have done was invite the reporters in for biscuits – I’m sure he has some very nice nibbles.
I think, he was a little bit confused as well as amazed about the next confusing step of the Echo reporters 🙂
