Abolish MPs' right to claim expenses.
Priti Patel's disgraceful actions are yet another example of the persistent abuse of taxpayer money and trust. There are children we cannot properly feed in this country, yet the home office can afford to spend £77,000 on beauty treatments. Enough is enough.
Scrap expenses altogether or introduce a major of overhaul of the system so that MPs can only legally claim for travel and accommodation expenses. Any abuse of this system should be punishable by prison.
