There are two groups of people who can claim on the tax payer to furnish their houses with what might be called the basics - beds, cookers, other kitchen and dining equipment, table and chairs etc.
The two groups of benefits claimants are members of Parliament and, well, benefits claimants. I wonder if both groups are referred to John Lewis?

It is true that well entrenched benefits claimants can live as well, and often better, than full-time workers. This is the case in my family.
The difference, in my experience, is that the professional benefits claimants are unhealthy in body and mind and do NOTHING to better their community despite having all that free time. My wife and I belong to several committees and are frequently fund raising local projects despite both of us being busy with work too - we also find time to participate in sport and keep fit (all done on the cheap).
I doubt it's done on the cheap EK. We've all paid for local sports facilities and swimming pools. At the moment you're not being asked to pay even more every time you use your own resources.
I wondered what criteria are applied to the obtaining of basic furnishings by non-MP benefits claimants. Where are they required to get their goods from?
Another group I would like to see paying are non doms . Having heard the pathetic defence of their position this AM( I come here and employ people....as do we all ), I think Osbourne was right in the first place.
Other moments of genius included” I don’t use the NHS". Must remember to leave them dying in the street then.
Honestly HG I find this obsession with the minutiae of MP`s remuneration unhealthy its almost as if the were sacramental in some medieval way. I think we get a good deal our of MP`s and attention is deflected from real waste like ..the EU or the Regional development Councils who get rid of £2.5 billion per year.
On this occasion your purpose has been insufficiently lofty and for the stern seriousness I apply in all things .
