@Modquokka @HelenRushby1 @inknook @LiamThorpECHO One where the term is longer but they absorb the on costs. In a seat like mine the cost of an office near Aberdeen could be four times that on one 60 miles away, and where you choose to base is likely to vary depending on where you live.2/

@Modquokka @HelenRushby1 @inknook @LiamThorpECHO But you just can’t say that. Here, especially. If a party has an MP and one or more MSPs/MLAs/AMs they may choose to share a larger office.

0ne might prefer a bigger Westminster staff and a smaller Const. one. One might prefer a more expensive serviced office, or a cheaper 1/

@LizBarkerLords Wow!

@inknook @LiziMarshall @tommillar_uk @HelenRushby1 @LiamThorpECHO If you think that we should have MPs bear their own costs for staff and offices, fine. The £10k was an allowance, not a payment. I have no idea what this guy claimed. I know most of my colleagues got a couple of laptops and office chairs so their staff could work safely from home

@Modquokka @HelenRushby1 @inknook @LiamThorpECHO They are not. It’s inaccurate language

@LiziMarshall @Modquokka @HelenRushby1 @inknook @LiamThorpECHO Technically they are allowances, not expenses and the details are published

@trevorsmutch Very important three points for us, tho'

@musicwadei @HelenRushby1 @inknook @LiamThorpECHO It's £32k for rent, rates, electricity, paper, stamps... high, but I see the highest claimed was £143k

@musicwadei @HelenRushby1 @inknook @LiamThorpECHO But rent on leases still had to be paid

@GrahamBrant6 @IsItBroke @HelenRushby1 @inknook @LiamThorpECHO I've yet to meet a staffer from any party with spare time.

@GrahamBrant6 @IsItBroke @HelenRushby1 @inknook @LiamThorpECHO Party political researchers talk to each other. There are not enough of them to alllow wasted resources. And,whilst there are some cross party campaigns, rarely is political research shared across party.

If “the system” worked, we would not need political representatives.

@GrahamBrant6 @IsItBroke @HelenRushby1 @inknook @LiamThorpECHO What MPs can spend is limited. And some do a lot and some are lazy gits. The latter should not be covered up for.

RT @LGBTglitterati: Following the Alison Bailey tribunal a lot of people seem surprised that Stonewall admit to pushing LGBTQ+ equality further than the current law.

Like pushing for an equal age of consent, LGBTQ+ protections in the Equality Act, equal marriage etc.

It's literally why they exist.

@chimenesuleyman I came here to be supportive, but you are doing brilliantly without help. Go you!

@GrahamBrant6 @IsItBroke @HelenRushby1 @inknook @LiamThorpECHO It varies, but commonly a Secretary, two Caseworkers, a constituency researcher, a researcher for any spokespersonship they hold, sometimes a diary secretary. And most of those are political.
