Rejected petition Scrap All MPs Expenses for Second homes.

In a time of austerity, its time to Scrap all MP expenses, for second homes.

More details

Its not right that MP get paid expenses to support second homes. Especially now they have removed the winter fuel allowance from the most vulnerable. Its disgusting that Tax payers are still funding MPs second homes, when the Gov aresaying they fmdonrmt have money to support the most vulnerable winter. Mps need to stay in a hotel or Gov provide flats that they all share.
