Fingers in pies I rekon. The one minister who pursuaded all his/her fellows to vote for this kinda thing is probably a major stake holder in a preferred supplier ISP. You know the kinda thing, 'you can only have the 10k allowance if you go through company A or company B"
I once worked on a project many years ago full of politicians who were lining their pockets during a very big bid..lunch here, lunch there...it turned out they won the bid & they now run the lottery. The company was then called Camelot too ????
I agree, it would be nice to get similar benefits as those muver f&*kers. Anyone wanna do my website?

Now surely there must be some kind of tax deductions for us on this. I must be able to deduct £10 000 pa, for shameless self promotion of my business to help people better understand my business?

Well, you didn't expect NL's forecasted small business CT hike revenues to be wasted on more nurses and teachers, did you?
NL are very keen to ensure that, we the tax paying public, access their lies in a better presented and more visibly appealing format.
That's what NL called transparency in government - so they haven't forgotten their manifesto promises.
Now that every aspect of our lives has been dumbed down, and we are now encouraged to give up smoking and eat 5 portions of fruit and veg a day - courtesy of the Public Information Office campaigns - we DON'T NEED NURSES AND TEACHERS.
Teachers are now employed as state childminders to ensure that young kids stay off the streets during weekdays so that they don't get as many ASBOs as they otherwise would. Nurses are only useful now so that binge drinking chavs can get their handy bandages and stitches from A&E when they are out on the town on Friday nights - courtesy of the government's policy to extend licensing hours.
The old are dying from the cold or in poorly run nursing homes no longer state subsidised or funded (their house sale came in handy here); the young aren't dying from lack of vitamin C now, so they can work until they're 80 and then die quickly thereafter (lowering old age pension funding), and kids are at university until they are 30 now - so they are too busy doing their homework learning the rudiments of basic grammar and spelling (and so bringing down street crime).
NL really are living up to their manifesto promises.

I think you should mail that to him and ask for the 10k per MP, as you have just done the job.Originally posted by KyajaeSo, Commons Leader Jack Straw told MPs: "The purpose of this allowance is to contribute to better public understanding of what this Parliament is about and what it does... "
We already understand what Parliament is about; career MPs shafting for every little thing they can get and not giving a flying **** about their consituency members. We don't need a website to tell us that. The interweb thingy is full of sites telling us the real truth about Parliament.

How much do you think these big body shops charge UK gov to do such things? I'd bet TPTB think the chap who put that 10k price up is being a little tight...

That's about £9,950 more that it should actually cost. You've got to hand it to them, either they're taking the p*ss or we're giving away!
