Did you know politicans get £10000 allowance for a kitchen refit ?

Question

This was on the news the other day. Someone also mentioned they get a £400 meal allowance per day ! How true that is I don't know, but lets have your thoughts on this one please.

Answer 1

i know a lot of things baby!

Answer 2

Yes, but I'm sure they would not in any way abuse such an allowance. After all, guys, if we can't trust our elected representatives, whom can we trust?

Well here's list they can claim from for the second home.  ? air conditioning unit.

Do u have an airconditioning unit at home.

I dont. Cant afford one. Come to that cant afford a second home!

(p.s. now the wife says I go be a politician - OMG).

Answer 4

So we pay for their second home refurb which they can then sell for a profit and we don't get anything back either. Scumbags. We need to take to the streets and protest against these people but nobody seems to care anymore.

Answer 5

Its disgusting and I hope now that its been made public, someone somewhere will be shamed into stopping it.

Answer 6

What has a kitchen got to do with politics? It's mad.

Answer 7

Yes they get 23,000 a year in expenses to furnish their second homes.  That is more than most Junior Civil Servants annual salary.

SICK.

Answer 8

They should be lined up and shot for robbing the common people, I like one of the Asian MP's who said that 'the people are our masters, and we are their slaves, we should be out of bed before them' etc etc

Answer 9

diane abbott only has one home, so she uses her 10k 2nd home kitchen allowance as a meal allowance instead

Answer 10

Its absurd! They work in the public sector! My husband also works in the public sector- in the marines. He gets just over 15k a year and no allowance except a few pounds petrol money to travel into base a week.

I'd love a new kitchen worth 10k! Its absolutely crazy and it makes me sick to be honest!

Answer 11

Only £10,000, that`s cheap considering all the cr*p policies they have to cook up every week

Answer 12

I heard about it on the news yesterday! about the £10,000 kitchen refit. It's not right.

Answer 13

Thats terrible! god i wish i got all that

Answer 14

Not sure about the meal - but the kitchen is correct

All details in the "John Lewis List"

..but they are worth every penny of my Taxes ....Yeah!

Answer 15

yes well they're probably smarter than junior civil servants. . . and they only get £750 for a tv you cant even buy a HD one for that... i feel sorry for them.
