MPs are claiming public funds to pay their energy bills

 The i newspaper had an exclusive last Saturday.

Twenty-six Conservative MPs, including some ministers, have claimed a combined total of £16,040.69 for energy bills this year. Fourteen Labour MPs, including  some shadow ministers, have claimed a combined total of £6,121.85.

The basic annual salary for an MP from 1 April 2022 is £84,144. MPs also receive expenses to cover the costs of running an office, employing staff, having somewhere to live in London or their constituency, and travelling between Parliament and their constituency.

One trusts that this information will be brought home to voters in their respective constituencies come general election time.
