Surely now is the time to cap MPs pay for a few years and also to cap the amount they can claim in expenses for their second homes including the amount they can spend on decorating / furnishing these homes not to mention the amount they claim for food and other expenses they claim for while they are away from their constituencies. This money could then be used in order to support the poorest in society that are cold and hungry in their homes through no fault of their own.

I also understand that there are young children who are British citizens whose parents are unable to claim child benefit due to their own immigration status ! This should not be the case in the UK or anywhere else in the world where we should all be treated fairly with respect to have the best possible chance of a future without poverty and hunger.
