Does this irk you? https://metro.co.uk/2019/05/11/mps-claiming-expenses-dependent-children-actually-adults-9497919/ Yes I know it’s a couple of years old but the fact that some MPs claim thousands for ‘dependent children’ who are 18 or older, or who are off studying at university must have steam coming out of your tabs.

Well, it's an open forum. Have a look at the Labour Party thread - parts 1 and 2. Had Britain a Labour government having to manage a pandemic, you can be sure that the Labour Party thread would be full gloating from Tory supporters, so much so that it would be already on part 4. With Brexit yielding nothing but trouble, the consequences of austerity painfully clear, and the catalogue of errors and misjudgments that have placed Britain amongst the countries with the highest death rates from COVID 19; that the Conservative Party thread has only one part says much.
