It sure seems like he is, according to the report by Glen Owen. Here is what Owen says; "David Cameron was dragged personally into the expenses row last night after it was revealed that he paid off a loan on his London home shortly after taking out a £350,000 taxpayer-funded mortgage on his constituency house.
The disclosure followed a powerful call by the Tory leader yesterday for the ‘full force of the law’ to be deployed against MPs who have abused allowances.
Following a Mail on Sunday investigation Mr Cameron could now face searching questions about his own expense claims."
The rest of Beltway Dave's curious story is right here.

The Tories are cunning. That is why I always vote for Labour. He should resign.Charity begins at home.
Tories. Lobour or Libdems, there is no difference. They all come from the same place (the drinking clubs of Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh). Nothing to vote for.
Saru - the system of taking money through juggling expenses was put in place by Thatcher as a way to avoid pay raises for MPs. This is a system that has been in place for more than two decades. Can you image the amount of money that has been swindled over that period of time?
Anon - you have a point, all the three parties are part of the same circus troupe. Not voting is not an option though. In my opinion, the British system should be reformed so that it is not the party that appoints candidates but individuals can go through a nomination process. That is what the US offers. The American process is not perfect but it is better than the British system.
I voted for Labour today.I always vote for Labour
David Cameron is a Politician who, like others, took advantage of the governmental system that was not carefully monitored.
These little foxes and little temptations are the ones that bring our downfall even if we initially had good intentions.
In leadership, integrity and the trust of your followers is important. It is a shame that this sort of thing creates voter apathy. I too like 'anonymous' am bewildered. My only thought is that Tony Blair is thanking God that he escaped the expenses scandal. This is just too much unecessary, extra work for Gordon Brown.
In hindsight -labour is the safer vote. I loved this flyer that came through the letter box the other day - Vote on Thursday or you'll wake up with the BNP on Friday ! So, not voting is the worst thing to do.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying that i voted for labour - in fact i'm not saying anything! I'll keep who i voted for, a secret.
I will say however, that i am a fan of Boris Johnson.
