Mr & Mrs MP: £175,000 for a flat ...

[Sweetpea]

A husband and wife who are both MPs have used £175,000 of taxpayers’ money to help buy a flat near Parliament – while they already have a constituency home nine miles away.

Health minister Ann Keen, 59, and her husband Alan, 70 - who have been nicknamed Mr and Mrs Expenses - bought an apartment on the South Bank of the Thames using their generous second homes perk.

They also took out life insurance policies worth £430,000 and claimed back the £867.57 a month premiums on their expenses.

Thieving lazy bastards.

And now because this has been exposed through the FIA. they want to change it to being paid £175 a day, attendance allowance, without having to be scrutinized about it.

Thieving, Lying, lazy, money grubbing, tax dodging, property portfolio building, sleazy, A******S.
Or am I just jealous?

We now know why talentless bastards want to become MP's, the cat's out of the bag.

I'm sorry, if I take up a job that I need to commute to I would be prepared to make the journey or move at my own expense. They should be putting the good old national rail system to good use and travelling that way instead of getting support to buy 'second homes'. As I am paying for their second home, can I ask for some contributions towards buying my first? Thought not.

I used to live in the London Borough of Hounslow, so Alan Keen was my MP, and he is a usless twat who never does anything to help his constituents. But it appears he is quite adept at helping himself.
