MPs should sod off
MPs to get up to £5,000 summer recess payment
MPS would be given a one-off payment of up to £5,000 to maintain their second homes this summer as part of Gordon Brown's controversial overhaul of their expenses system.
"One of the biggest complaints among MPs is that under the new system they would receive no cash towards their mortgage interest or rent payments during the 11-week summer recess because the Commons is not sitting. Harriet Harman, the Leader of the Commons, has told mutinous MPs that the proposals include "transitional arrangements" to help them meet their bills over the summer".
Everybody else has to meet their bills from their wages. In this respect MPs should be no different.
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.
