Daily Express: MPs begin 73-day break... as their expenses bill hits £95m

Matthew Elliott, of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:  "It's completely out of order for MPs to claim more and more expenses when people are suffering under the burden of higher taxes.
"When members of the public are having to tighten their belts, MPs should not show contempt for taxpayers by receiving inflation-busting increases in expenses from the public purse."
