MPs' expenses: keeping it in the family

[itsnotoutthere]

The Telegraph list of M.Ps tax payer funded family members. Makes for interesting reading.

Please god, let some mainstream party M.P. knock on my front door & ask for my vote....P L E A S E.

example :- Stephen Byers claimed more than £125,000 for repairs and maintenance at a London flat owned outright by his partner, where he lives rent-free

example :- Lord Kirkwood, a Liberal Democrat peer, claimed £5,000 in expenses to refurbish his London flat before retiring as an MP and selling it to his daughter for less than half its value.

example :- Bernard Jenkin claimed £50,000 on his expenses to rent his sister-in-law’s farmhouse, just over the road from a country home part-owned by his wife

example :- Ian Gibson claimed almost £80,000 in four years for mortgage interest and bills on a London flat which was the main home of his daughter, who lived there rent-ree with all bills paid by the taxpayer

& the list goes on.....
