No Expenses Spared

I can’t believe some MPs are still thinking of contesting and quibbling over the amount of their expenses they are being asked to pay back.

Welcome to the real world, the world the rest of us are forced to inhabit, where the goalposts are moved daily, with no redress.

For instance, if you were someone who had been unfortunately overpaid by the CSA owing to their ineptitude, you would have already been in receipt of threatening letters from the DWP telling you to repay those benefits or risk prosecution. This is the sort of shit your constituents have to put up with, day in, day out.

It’s not even about the money. You can bloody well afford it. Most of you have got two or three other lucrative jobs alongside being an MP.

Look. How can I put this nicely?

Just deal with it, and move on. You have got off lightly. Stop whinging, shut up, pay up, and get on with running the country. You haven’t got a Legg to stand on.
