Cartoon: British Politics – MPs expenses
MPs were know as honourable people, hence the name. I am afraid that there are enough dishonourable members to make the sobriquet ironic. They say that they are not breaking any rules as they ladle in their £20,000 pa housing expenses – which is true, because the lregulations are so lax they can still claim the cash even if they own the house. Or live so near parliament they don’t need a second house.
