MPs John Lewis List?

Question

This has made my blood boil. I think its disgusting.

What do you think of it all.

Most of us cant afford to furnish a first home, This is totaly out of order

Answer 1

LOL, watch the claims coming in now someone has revealed yet another trough they can stick their snouts into.........

Remember, they created the ruling that workers cannot claim any allowances for their daily journey to their place of work, therfore they shouldn't be allowed any claims themselves, they should fund their travel and living expenses from their bloated salaries, for the few weeks a year they are actually AT work.

Answer 2

Why can't they just make do with the existing kitchen like every other taxpayer! Grrrrr

Answer 3

Sick isn't it.

I don't see why we should pay to furnish ANYTHING. They get enough pay for this.

Expenses should only be paid for WORK related items. A plasma TV & a £10k Kitchen is not required in order to carry out the duties of a Member of Parliament.

Disgusting & sick. Think about the "John Lewis" list next time you hear "Big Issue Madam?"

Edit. Ed. They don't even know Poundstretcher exists. They have no idea at all. These people shouldn't be running our country. We should.

Answer 4

It's disgusting.  When they are no longer an MP do they have to return all these possessions? I doubt it.  Also, they can sell the house and keep the profit!

The parliament should provide accommodation similar to student/nurses flats for MPs!

Answer 5

This was an example of how much the M.P. COULD spend - most didn't know it existed  - haha - THEY DO NOW!!

Answer 6

Is it any wonder they tried to pass a law making the expenses lists private? It's an absolute disgrace.

Answer 7

All MPs who reside outside of Greater London should be entitled to accommodation in London. It is cheaper than a daily commute or hotel bills, though maybe it would be a good idea for them to use a state owned apartment for the duration of their incumbency, much like the PM and chancellor get to borrow Downing Street.

If they own their London home outright, they should fund it themselves, since it is their own personal asset. At the very least the allowances need to be far more modest. £300 for a mirror? Why not get one for a tenner from Pounstretcher?

Answer 8

no wonder theyll do and say anything to get elected

Answer 9

And we wonder why our council charges and taxes are rising.

Answer 10

I agree, in business people have to move to where their job is or commute

if they don't want to don't go into politics

almost as nauseating was Cameron trying to be everyone's mate on news at 10

the commentator even tried to make out  it was normal middle england, yes he has a  disabled son, not easy but he obviously has a huge house  they have a live in nanny and someone who comes in and stays three nights a week to help with their disabled son

there are hundreds of thousands outhere with disabled offspring who cannot afford a nanny

do not have considerably wealthy backgrounds  or marry into millionaireess families coming on to make out he's like the rest of us makes my blood boil even more

how can he and his wallpaper magate aire shadow chancellor osbourne dare to tell

ordinary folk ' they understand, nothing wrong with eaton, but many of it's products have little idea of real life

Answer 11

Its well out of order I go to work every day to furnish some MPs house its disgusting.  My boss doesnt fund my commute to work if you cant get there you dont take the job simple as!!  I wonder what else they con out of us, it really is making angry I am trying my best not to swear!

Answer 12

I totally agree with you I was amazed this morning. The amount of money they earn they don't need extra's for items that some of us can't afford ourselves.

No wonder the Police, nurses etc don't get decent payrises the money is going on MPs furniture.

Answer 13

Couldn't agree more!

We must all protest to get this stopped!

I dont see why they cant have bunk beds at the PALACE of Westminster.

Answer 14

what do you expect from this group of liars and cheats

Answer 15

Yep, just when you think it can't get any worse regarding the Westminster Freeloaders, it does just that .

Answer 16

I agree. We live outside London and have to commute and we never get a seat on the train.

MP's must be laughing all the way to the bank or John Lewis'.
