More details
Mp's often claim massive for expenses and have a house paid for by us the people. Let us the people decide where our money is best spent by reducing the pay of MP's who's basic salary is approc £67,000 a year plus expenses. Let us redirect the money from the house of lords and parlement by reducing the expenses and running costs by 10-20% and reinvest in Doctors, nurses and other health care practictioners not managers.
