chem1st Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Meanwhile, MP's who own homes and BTL housing portfolios, continue to claim £22k in SUPER SPECIAL housing benefit. £423 per week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 They don't claim any kind of housing benefit. They claim expenses because their job requires them to spend a significant amount of time in a 2nd city. Do you want to compare every business person staying in a hotel to housing benefit as well?

Paul2412 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I don't know why people are angry at the current government about this. If the previous government didn't make it more attractive to live on benefits than to work then we wouldn't be in this position now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 They don't claim any kind of housing benefit.

The only problem I have with that is the ability for the MP's to make money from their "paid for by us" houses.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's age demographics and irresponsible lending to people in work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
