The MP`s should be stripped of expenses and that would help the country alot. They get well paid enough and the rest of us get on ok without ridiculous expenses. Rant over.
Agreed, I can maybe understand the whole second home thing, but only if they have one home which everything is paid for by themselves and where it would be very very difficult to travel into london within say 2 hours.
Having their second home in london about 5min walk from their first london home is a joke.
