but how eva money grabbin mps dunt really care
thiis time the foriegn sec orders a private jet to jet hm around.........paid fer by the endless money pit
aka..... uk taxpayers
I'm not swamped in debt....I only borrow money when I want to expand the business.
Jet setting anywhere is a waste of my money
The UK is in a mess partly because the MP,s are claiming so much for expenses for their second homes.....if you or I worked out of town , and bought another house...would we get expenses for it , would we get money to buy a telly , would we get paid to buy a plug for the bath or sink ????? the easy answer is no ....we would have to pay out of our wages.....they should do the same....stop all the expenses nonsense.....we will all be better off....( except the MP,s.........papa.
OK - so MPs have to have a base in the constituency they represent.
And they have to attend Parliament.
They cannot be in two places at once.
So they should be made to declare one place as their residence, and if it's not in London, they should have a room in a 'dormitory' owned by the Government for when they cannot be at home.
They should also have to produce receipts for all travel, which should be by the most efficient means available.
There should be a parliamentary department to deal solely with this - they are supposed to be accountable to the taxpayer.
Time the 'gravy train' stopped!
Is that right?...have you got a link to the rules because I didn't know that?
So far as I am aware, in England, money had to be invented so the government didn't get swamped with mountains of carrots
The tax was handed over and whoever took it was in charge of the money and only answerable to the monarch and whichever God was fashionable then.
When did the tax payers start telling the government what to do![]()
HI, They should also travel by public transport, set an example for everyone else.
They should also have a pay cut as they are a public service, and nearly every other public service is cut back on.
I agree with you, I think the government should buy flats in areas that politicians have to stay overnight, and they should be charged rent. This will work out cheaper in the long run.
Or better still, they could start giving people who travel from home to work, tax decuctions.
What surprised me, was that politicians don't sign in and out, of the building where meetings are held, I thought this was a requirement underneath the health and safety law. What happens if there is a fire, how will it be known if there are people left in the building? Firemen and any other rescue service, could risk/lose their life trying to rescue someone who is not there.
When did the tax payers start telling the government what to do
About 1670 I think, when the elected members of parliament could decide against the King.
So that IF your 'party' gets in, you won't expect them to tell Parliament what to do?![]()
