Do they pay tax on the full value or do they have an arrangement with the Inland Revenue regarding what proportion are treated as legitimate expenses?

My salary (less tha 1/4 of the lowest paid MP) has to cover trivial expences such as food & drink!

£4800 per year

£4800 x 650MPs = £3,120,000 a year according to my calculations.

Go on Guido, nuke ‘em all.
