And I have heard all the union people being given a really hard time on R4 whilst giving government people an easy ride this week.

Again this comes up! All of a couple of days since it last came up here.
Those are not MP expenses being claimed, more likely to be expenditure from the offices they hold.
No idea where this Folker got his numbers - his Twitter has gone - so can't tell what they mean or if they're accurate. They seem quite high for some of them.

I know so have I, it’s like the Beeb quotes both sides of the argument.
Shocking stuff.

Probably got cancelled by that free speech fan Elon Musk.
You think they are high - this is my MP's claim for last year - yes they clam for running offices then populate them with relatives. Dorries is a big fan of that.

Yes, I think they are too high to be MP expenses, by a factor of about 10 in some cases. Mordaunt for example.
MP expenses always seem high - just checking that site, mine claims over £200k for staffing, presumably in the grounds that London costs more than Middlesbrough and doesn't have accommodation costs. I don't know details of what's allowed for them, 650 MPs is going to be at least 130M at that rate.
It's not a Conservative thing though, it's an MP thing.

As I didn’t make any reference whatsoever to the BBC, I’m not sure what point you’re making, unless you’re just arguing for the sake of it.…

No you said the media, the BBC are part of the media. If you were talking about specific media maybe you should have said unless you are just arguing for the sake of it.

Not sure what you think you’ve seen but I wasn’t arguing at all. I just posted a cartoon I’d seen with commentary attached to it, whatsoever. If it doesn’t apply to your media, good on you.
