Heard on news that the PM is not at home in connection with the black veiling on his home in Yorkshire ..surely this should not have been broadcasted or am i being over dramatic...

Glorianny I cannot understand why you keep going on about houses standing empty and homelessness. It’s got nothing to do with homelessness. GreenPeace weren’t demonstrating about homelessness. All Members of Parliament have to have a home in their constituency, but most of them live in London. We pay for their home in London, although there was a scandal about ‘flipping’ recently. All Members of Parliament must have a home in their constituency. It’s not about homelessness. MPs must have two homes unless they happen to live in London already. It’s really not difficult to understand.

Quite simple maddyone our PM does not just have two homes. He has 3 in this country plus two official residences and a place in Santa Monica. Now why he should need so many I don't know, but I see no reason why he shouldn't be criticised and the subject of homelessness raised.
