loving the justice!

I saw it, too, and loved it! One even commented "it made me feel like a criminal just trying to reclaim what I am entitled to". Yes, indeed, my friend. And imagine what it is like to have to submit receipts for items over £5 (the MPs' limit is higher). Do they also have to have a signed piece of paper to confirm they are entitled every time they travel to a meeting? Bet they don't.

Do they receive their wages through this system as well? I hope so, and they can experience the joys/trauma of being paid incorrectly for months and months in a row and having random large sums deducted for no reason.

A female MP said that she would not have returned to the House of Commons if she had known that she would have to use this awful system. Funny, we were told to suck it up. MPs have assistants to do it for them anyway.

It's a shame the media haven't picked up on the JPA story more widely.
