Do not allow MPs to be able to claim for Christmas Parties on expenses
As reported here, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63714892, the Ipsa has stated that MPs can claim back money spent on food, decorations and non-alcoholic drinks for an "office festive event". This cannot be allowed to happen and MPs must be explicitly blocked from claim this on expenses.
During this time of extreme increases in the cost of living and the measures introduced by the government which has significantly affected quality of life for a tremendous amount of the UK population, it is deplorable to allow MPs to use tax payers money for their Christmas festivities.
