As you may have heard in the UK about the MP Expenses what do you think about it?

BBC News
 
A new batch of leaked details on MPs' expenses claims have been published.

Those featured by the Daily Telegraph include tourism minister Barbara Follett, who claimed more than £25,000 for security patrols at her home.

She and others named, such as Labour minister Phil Hope and Tory MP Greg Barker, say they have not broken rules.

Immigration minister Phil Woolas has threatened legal action over "disgusting" allegations he claimed for women's clothing, nappies and comics.

Health minister Ben Bradshaw - Exeter MP and minister for the South West - has also said claims made about his expenses in Saturday's paper were factually wrong.

The Telegraph's latest story comes a day after the paper published details of 13 Cabinet ministers' expenses. It plans to publish further revelations about MPs from other parties in the coming days.

The Commons authorities have complained to the Metropolitan Police, who confirmed they were considering a request for an investigation into the leak to the paper.


I think that they should be treated like everyone else pay all taxes and they are not allowed to have any expenses because it should be used on education, the health service and other things for the country.

They should have to pay taxes. They are no different that to us normal Brits. And the fact that they were spending money on insignificant things such as houses or loans when we could've put that money towards education, the NHS and other more important matters.

Wow! I'm doing Business Studies for my options.
But yeah, he would be the perfect Prime Minister, but I have a feeling he wouldn't run for it. xD

He has said this morning on the Andrew Marr show that he is doing nothing different than he was. Basically he is promotingenterprise and helping small business.
