MPs can get their energy bills paid on expenses. Where’s YOUR get-out scheme?
House of expense accounts: we pay MPs’ heating bills on expenses for them. Why won’t they help us pay ours?
HaggisUK (below) has it right: it seems MPs think it’s fine for poor people to pay their energy bills via publicly-funded expenses, but they won’t lift a finger to help us when it comes to paying our own.
Watch this video and mark it well:
Adil Ray – Is it right that MPs can get their energy bills paid via expenses?
Mark Spencer(Leader HoC) – If you have a second home you can claim
Adil Ray – So it's ok for us to pay your expenses, but you don't have a plan to help us pay our bills? #GMB pic.twitter.com/7rD0H43UHk

Confused?
Mark Spencer, Leader of the House of Commons, said there are much bigger challenges for the UK than you and I paying his energy bills for him – and then went on to say that the challenge he had in mind was how we pay our own bills.
I think he’s right!
Because our challenge is persuading MPs like Mark Spencer to help us in the way they force us to help them.

As usual they just look after themselves and could not care a les about the workers who are vital to keep the country running and trying to keep there heads above water when they have not had a pay rise in years The Tory’s are only looking after the rich mates
Who are the real scroungers and crooks? Why it is the greedy fascist tory MPs of course who have their energy bills paid by us and it is our public money being given to these greedy crooks!
Hey Mark Spencer you were supposedly elected as representative of your constituents which means you work for them not for yourself! Also it means you must forgo having your energy bills paid by us and instead pay those bills yourself!
