£10k to increase understanding of MPs

MPs have today voted to give themselves £10k on top of their current expenses to inform us more about what they and Parliament do via a website.

Quite why it costs £10k to set up and maintain a website that tells us what an MP is doing I don’t know.

Quite simply, all an MP needs to do is set up a blog that acts as an online diary. They can then tell us what they’ve been doing and why. Simple and best of all it’s free.
