Just had a look at this...
https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publication/parliamentary-monitor-2018/cost
This is for the top end so the total costs must also have the Regional Government costs (Welsh Assembly etc) added
Plus local councils at County, Borough, Rural, Parish etc
Plus EU costs.
I don’t really begrudge most of the costs but do think the Gold Plated pensions and compensation when not voted in and no longer an MP are ridiculous. Also the apparent lack of control over expenses claims.
Junkets and jollies too.
Also if an MP commits an offence or major cock-up why can’t they be sacked/deselected and trigger a by-election?
The incompetence of some is unbelievable.
Chris Grayling seems to be the current winner. Definitely doesn’t have the Midas Touch. More like the Manure Touch.
