Fair comment.

Sadly we all know that the chances of any of them being investigated let alone jailed for misappropriation of public funds is vanishingly small

Worthless corrupt scum the lot of them irrespective of party.

Actually quite a small number - but the others turned a blind eye I suppose.

The MP though can pay for the renovations and improvements out of the public purse, and then enjoy relief from CGT as well when it is sold.

This combination of CGT tax relief, and taxpayer funded renovations, can lead to a "double-jammy" in benefit.

Flipping themselves off at taxpayers expense. Tax free too.
