well that didn't take long -are they right to complain ?

Will have to convince my boss of the need for petrol expenses because I am not working there to subsidise the job.

There's a simple answer to that Mr Sheridan - find yourself a job which pays you more and leave politics to those who don't share your views or require taxpayer funded 'perks' like plasma TVs.

Will be interesting to see how many of the NEW MPs are amongst the complainers.

I wish that i had 20% of their perks and subsidies.!
I think that they`re lucky to get what they do.

Personally I think the above comment made by MP's about "being treated like benefit claimants", just about sums up the utter contempt which many MP's hold claimants in...a bloody despicable statement.
