Re: Loony MP resigns after baseball bat threat.

Corrupt politicians are ten a penny these days. But I picked on the property cost because it's in bold in the original post.

Re: Loony MP resigns after baseball bat threat.

Am I understanding this correctly .

An MP lives in social housing ?

On an MPs salary she should not be living in social housing at all !

£750 while it won't buy a mansion in London will still buy something liveable.

Re: Loony MP resigns after baseball bat threat.

I'm not so sure about that really, they are elected for 4 years, if they lose their seat they have to be able to return to normal life. One thing I want most is MPs who understand real life, if they do live on estates and in social housing so much better for meeting us IMO our local Councillor still lives in his disabled adapted flat down the road and he's great he understand our problems.

Re: Loony MP resigns after baseball bat threat.

No Julie it's not alright .
This woman is on a salary of £77k + pa
And goodness only knows what other MPs perks
IMO she should not be in social housing

Re: Loony MP resigns after baseball bat threat.

So after she leaves her job how is she supposed to live if she hasn't got her home any more ? People call these things we live in houses but they are homes really.

Re: Loony MP resigns after baseball bat threat.

She buys one now while she is on a big salary and moves into it with her drug dealing son .

Re: Loony MP resigns after baseball bat threat.

Good idea then can't afford the mortgage when she leaves her job. Can't think of anything better.

Re: Loony MP resigns after baseball bat threat.

If she can't afford a mortgage on £77k a year who can ?

Re: Loony MP resigns after baseball bat threat.

But you ignored my point it may only be a 4 year contract, or even shorter if you mess up or there is an election.

Re: Loony MP resigns after baseball bat threat.

So what?
She buys a small house elsewhere and moves into it and gets a job as people do
There is no job security today yet people buy houses with mortgages .

May I say Julie you are a master at evading difficult questions .
