Pampered politicians?

On the other hand …

Read this about how some of our distinguished peers are provided with luxury offices

It also worth remembering what Cherie Blair has to say about the attitude towards helping the prime minister’s wife (& the prime minister himself, come to that) with the expenses of keeping up appearances – literally - at official engagements all over the world

Mind you, if parliamentary expenses were so generous & flexible, it is not perhaps surprising that officials took the view that it was up to the couple to find the money themselves
