MPs' Allowances Debate: Loads Missing.

[paraffin]

Currently live on BBC Parliament channel and there are roughly 40 MPs present: So where are their colleagues?
Working hard in their constituencies? Or sitting in a pub compiling their latest list of expenses?

I don't know where they all were, but judging by the amount of public anger which has been generated by the recent expenses abuse disclosures, we can take comfort that after the General Election next year some of their backsides will no longer be occupying those particular seats and they'll be able to devote 100% of their time to contemplating how best to work their way arouind the Jobseekers Allowance.

General Election... Bah! I think they should flatten the houses of parliament and downing street etc and creat big car parks all over london, it would certainly be a more useful way to occupy the space.....
