Hi

Scrap the Second Homes payment and expenses.

Build them all a Travelodge and make them all stay in there.

I like that idea. In fact, I've been saying that for years.

Best of luck with that one!

Sorry, total waste of money and resources, like the farce of the monthly exodus to Strasbourg.

Might as well move the UK government out of London. The only downside is that the *ELF Sadiq Khan will have won what once was OUR capital city for his "own people".
