I have said it before and I will say it again. They are all the same. They only care about themselves and feathering their own nests. All of them.

[bobbinwales]

Is it within the rules. Have you checked all 600 plus mp's claims to see how many others are milking it. . Some may be milking it alot worse.

[bazwillrun]

give it a rest you sad individual...nobody cares, you wont convert anybody...you're nothing but a boring a comedy novelty now.

do something useful, learn to create and post links, try and impress us

You failed to say she claimed a total of £25k over 5 years and that during that time she wasn't claiming rent

If the lid is off the sweetie jar, little hands will visit it.

That could explain Mr Trump's ample posterior.

Been checking out his huge following then Douglas?

Donald and Suella entwined in some lush suite in at Balmedie or Turnberry defies imagination...well, I hope it does, given the Don's stances towards the Hebrew population....

I think Braverman should be placed on a one way flight to Rwanda as a Trolley Dolly.

19:53, BA right there.

Think Suella is missing,,, Haystack..

Barry 19. 55 How could she claim rent allowance when she wasn't paying rent . OP

[Peter Pedant]

I dont charge my relations to stay to pay rent - even if it more than one night ! - but a few parents do....

Here, Suella's mama is paying for home office expenses and I have to say I would share reluctance - esp if Mandarins and hangers on swept in and out on expenses.

Colonial thing - none of the ex colonials charge their children rent, Imperial thing - all the Andie Capps in the country, did.

[Peter Pedant]

rent - you cant see above
it has to be an expense - and for us proles, wholly used in the work activity
AND even if your parents charge, you cant claim ( at least those were the rules when I last looked)

[barry1010]

That's my point, gully. If she didn't stay at her parents she would have rented elsewhere and claimed rent, heating, council tax, insurance and all the rest of it

[Old_Geezer]

Choosing to move back with your parents, instead of choosing the freedom of your own place. Should that really change what you can or can't claim ? Do folk really prefer telling her that she must get a separate place ? Seems a strange thing to get het up about.

It's takes a braverman man than me to comment here

[andy-hughes]

Ms Braverman's parents are not responsible for the expensed she incurs as part of her job, regardless of how wealthy they may or may not be.

Expenses are provided for MP's and they are entitled to claim them, subject to the appropriate regulations being followed.
