Tony Blair was given £43,026 over 3 years , for the upkeep of his home in Co Durham, don't we pay him a decent wage and give him rent free accomodation.
Also whist the Inland Revenue recommended rate for mileage allowances for us mere mortals is 40 pence per mile an MP is allowed to claim 57.7 pence per mile, that should encourage them to drive environmentally sound cars ( not ).
