I am laughing because these supposedly intelligent MPs have to be told that Eton Mess contains dairy and eggs

Nowhere in the country can be cheaper angry

They have the brazen cheek to think this is appropriate. Their sense of entitlement is unbelievable.

A pub just half-a-mile away from the Houses of Parliament, called Silver Cross, which serves food for workers in London and tourists, sells battered cod and chips for £13.49 while a Commons canteen hands out the popular British dish for just £3.75.

Yes their food is subsidised in their various canteens/restaurants as is the alcohol in their bars.

They are now drawing more (on average) in expenses than they were at the time of the expenses scandal..

Nice work if you can get it.

Why can they get that so cheap? It's 5 or 6 in pubs round here! Why are we subsidising their food?
