MPs claim expenses for unnecessary homes
Extra properties subsidised at cost of thousands even though constituencies are short ride from Commons
Taxpayers are funding MPs to run two homes even when they only need one for their parliamentary duties.
The Sunday Telegraph has uncovered four cases where MPs are receiving up to £24,000-a-year in "second home allowance" despite one of their two homes being nowhere near either Westminster or their constituency.
Although the arrangement is permitted by House of Commons rules, other MPs called it "incredible" and claimed that it was bringing politicians into disrepute.
Is there no end to the depths that these snouts in the trough won't sink to when it comes to making the taxpayers fork out for their lavish lifestyles?
Details of the 4 MPs, whose second home is further away from the Commons than their constituency home.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
No comments. You didn't put any funny pictures in for the three-year olds who like to scan your blog.
