You may not recognise the MP in the photo - and I can't really blame you if you don't, since he has never entered the House of Commons chamber, despite having been elected to it eight years ago.
It is Pat Doherty, who has twice been elected to represent the people of West Tyrone in the House of Commons - something which he refuses to do on the grounds that as a Sinn Fein MP he will not recognise the jurisdiction of the House of Commons over the affairs of Northern Ireland.
Yet he is happy to take British taxpayers' money - and lots of it - in expenses for that job, despite the fact that he refuses to participate in debates, ask questions and vote in the House on behalf of the 43,487 electors in his constituency.
I remain of the view that MPs not willing to carry out the duties of an MP should not be entitled to the associated allowances.
Yet further to this morning's Telegraph exposé of just how much the absentee Sinn Fein MPs are costing us, Mr Doherty has appeared on television this afternoon to defend his acceptance of the money on expenses.
According to PoliticsHome, he told BBC News:
So let me get this straight: he takes in the region of £1,500 a month to cover accommodation which he uses for just two nights every month? That's £750 a night (and that's before the claim for the return flights from Northern Ireland to London).
I've just phoned The Dorchester and could book one of the cheaper suites there for a night this week for a mere £700.
So there you have it: it would be cheaper for Mr Doherty to book a suite at the Dorchester for his occasional visits to London than to continue with his current arrangements. You couldn't make it up.
