Rename all MP's "Expenses" to "Benefits".
As you may know the UK Government has always stigmatised the use of benefits as a drain on government resources (right or wrong), including labelling pension recipients as those on "benefits".
We say lets include MP's claiming back earnings as those on benefits also.
With a cost of living crisis going on the Government wants to tell us its wrong to take action going as far as to say the lower runs of society have to foot the bill.
We just want the Government to share in this deplorably shameful feeling of costing this fine country money.
Not at all saying its not a deserved "perk" of the job as an MP to recieve these "benefits".
We would simply like it labelled so and included in the demographic of claimants.
