I live here - no, here.

The Home Secretary is under scrutiny regarding her claims for expenses relating to her living arrangements. I doubt that she has actually breached the rules relating to such expenses - indeed, given her position, it would be inconceivable if she had, but the question that does need to be asked is whether she has exploited the rules for her personal enrichment. This is not so much a question of law, as one of morality. Just because you can do something doesn't necessarily mean that you should do it.
