The cost to the taxpayer of MPs representing their own interests

The cost to the taxpayer of MPs representing their own interests

I think it is incredible that they work for us and yet they vote themselves their own pay rises. I recall when Gordon Brown was officially chancellor (he still is unofficially because Darling is just a puppet), he insisted that the public sector kept pay rises below the rate of inflation. And yet, a so-called independent review body has recommended that MPs should get above inflation rate pay increases for the next 3 years.

Why does everybody else have to pay living costs out of their wage or benefits and yet MPs receive over Ł20,000 above their wage for living costs?

Who else can claim expenses and yet not produce any receipts to justify the allowance?
