It just gets worse
Apparently, my MP “didn’t feel safe” coming back to West Ham after late night sittings in the House.
So you’ll leave your constituents to fight off the muggers as best they can, will you, Lyn? You remember your constituents, don’t you? Those people who voted for you because they believed your bright promises about caring for the area, and fighting to get West Ham designated an Inner London borough because of the benefits it would bring (whatever happened to that, by the way? Seems to have dropped off your radar, for some reason. Couldn’t be because you discovered that you’d no longer be eligible for Second Homes Allowance if West Ham’s designation was changed, could it? Surely not), and how crime and education would be top of your priority list…
I suppose I should be grateful that (a) she rented the flat and (b) she shared it with another MP, and (c) we don’t appear to have been subsidising her bath plugs and moat cleaning, but surely to God it’s not beyond the Fees Office to have a couple of cab accounts for the use of MPs after late night sittings?

They are apparently entitled to £250 a month for cabs, I think I heard. Should cover a couple of trips from Westminster to West Ham, methinks.

Oh my. That’s truly awful. She so doesn’t deserve to get re-elected after saying that about her constituency. What does she think all the people who have no choice but to come home from work late at night must feel. Idiot.
Mind you, at least she lives there. A friend of mine who was living in Herne Hill at the time went to vote a few years back fully intending to vote Labour until he noticed that the candidate didn’t actually live in the constituency!

Gahh! My soon-to-be ex-student daughter manages to negotiate her way round London no problem. If she can do it – I don’t see what this lot are moaning about.
