The Lib Dem leader has urged his fellow party leaders to back his plans for reforming MPs' second-homes allowances.
Nick Clegg's proposals would see the allowance replaced with expenses for only basic utility bills, council tax and either rent or mortgage interest.
MPs get over £60,000 basic salary per year. They are not poor enough to expect the taxpayer to pay for their utility bills. I have to pay mine out of my £60 per week Jobseekers Allowance.

The piggies should be forced to get a second job when they're away from the trough for their summer hols.
My boss certainly doesn't give me a handout to keep me going till the next pay day.
