Stop MPs from claiming expenses on items such as fuel and heating their homes.
Liz Kendall, who lives in a £4million mansion in Notting Hill, used £3,182 of public money to pay off energy costs for her second home in her constituency between April 2023 and July this year.
She also voted to axe the winter fuel payment of between £100 and £300 for all but the poorest pensioners
According to the PM, tough choices have to be made, yet it seems that its only the public that are impacted by these.
It's about time MPs had to cut back and feel the consequences of tough choices, do the right thing and scrap these outrageous expenses for MPs who are already worth a fortune and earning well above the average wage!
