So left-wing labour MP linda riordan is claiming for a second home in London and immediately rents it out to another labour MP for £18,720 a year. :o
She then puts in a claim for ANOTHER second home for herself!! And we are paying for the lot. :o :o
How can that be allowed?
These socialist 'of the people' politicos certainly know how to 'skim off the top'. >:(
No the wonder the 'speaker' wants to keep all of these details secret.
To my mind it is theft.
Does it never stop?

It just goes to illustrate why the majority of them go to Parliament...to get their noses in the trough. They really are despicable characters. >:(
Know what I think? Well I'll tell you anyway........those 'second homes' bought by the taxpayers of the UK, ought to be the 'home' of the MP until he/she is no longer a MP.
That is when they have no further use for a 'second home'.
Then the property reverts to the State and is to be used for the next MP for the constituency.
MPs/ministers should not be able to profit from properties that WE have paid for.
