Not if they build more housing (like they've been fucking promising for over a decade) and allocate the mp housing among it.
Comment on Taxpayers foot £300k energy bill for MPs’ second homes
Buckshot@programming.dev 6 months agoYeah, this is a pretty nothing story. Seems like it is just trying to generate outrage. I wonder if all this could be solved by the government simply buying 650 residences in London and assigning them to sitting MPs while covering all the bills and maintainancne on those properties but it would probably be much more expensive

I always kind of felt they should consider popping them all in a student style halls of residence. 4 bathrooms and 2 kitchens per 20 people. If you need something “posher”, you can pay for it yourself.
Also rather than sticking it right down at the bottom of the country, pop it in the middle, in Birmingham or Leeds or somewhere suchlike. There’s not a lot of reason to have all the government decisions made in London.
