MPS VOTE FOR £16MILLION MORE EXPENSES
MPs have voted themselves an extra £16million in expenses this year, despite mounting public anger over their money-grabbing claims.
The increase, worth an average £25,000 to each MP, takes the total expenses bill to £109million, up from last year’s £93m.
The revelation came as details of embarrassing claims by dozens of MPs, including Prime Minister Gordon Brown, were made public.
Last night it emerged that the Commons has set up a “crisis phone line” to offer counselling to worried MPs who fear shameful details of their expenses are about to be made public amid fears that the huge
rise in expenses, revealed yesterday in Parliamentary documents, will fuel voters’ anger.
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.
