are making out that £45 - 160k goes straight into the pockets of the MPs. In some cases they were milking it for all it's worth. But not in all cases.
My MP claimed £80k or so for staff. That didn't go in her pocket, it went into a few office workers pockets and kept them in jobs.
It's like saying smug, grinning, punchable-faced council leader Carl Minns claimed £300m, when in reality he has to run Hull Council with it.
