I think all MP's should live for 3 months on:
A) What they call a 'living wage'
B) JSA - with the bedroom Tax deducted
C) ESA
D) A job they 'recommend' for others - like pensioners - or women who's pension age has been increased with no official warning - doing fruit picking/ agricultural labouring.

That would be their years apprenticeship!
I wouldn't be too mean, they could start with whichever they chose.

So ashamed that we live in a country in 2017 and we have all these food banks and yet it’s costing us good knows what to leave the EU I think all MPs should give up their wages for at least six months and give it to the poor you still would not see a poor MP

I feel (hope) it blows up in his (very smug) face.

Instead of taking a box of goods he should give loads of his wages to the food bank.


He should be bloody ashamed of himself all the colleagues he has in Parliament.

Our local MP has posted pictures of himself opening the second food bank in Winchester, with the caption:
"This morning I officially opened the new branch of Winchester Basics Bank at St Lukes in Stanmore. WBB has been going since 2004 and we salute its many volunteers. Dropped off my box of goods; please do the same if you can. God bless them all."

Winchester - apparently one of the best places to live......

...I feel he's proud... :-(
