Perhaps Des he was saving the tax payer money as he was only booking one hotel room

It's just another example of "us and them". To be a politician, you need to be reasonably well off, and out of the "less well off" group in society. If any of us were to be from that particular group, we wouldn't be on here talking about our working lives. Yes you may get the odd one that has made it from being a "worker" to being a politician, but they normally get tainted on their way up.
It's natural for well off types to duck and dive, just like everyone else, but they're just better at it, with far richer opportunities. No business tycoon is going to knock on my door and offer me a few big ones to vote in a particular way, but if they did, would I take it? probably, if I thought I'd get away with it.
With many MPs, they already have "loadsamoney" and politics is a kind of hobby that pays for itself, the Lords are the same, and they all keep "well off" with our money.

Well looks as if the chickens are coming home to roost. Hancock, his former boss Boris ,Chris Pincher, Owen Patterson, Robert Jenrick, Dominic Raab? to be fair in all likely hood probably balled someone out for not doing the effing job.

And all the time this nastiness goes on, we get poorer and shafted even more. But, maybe nobody will notice with all this really important stuff going on. I don't give a monkey nudger about "partygate" "kissgate" or any other gate, not while we're all being screwed by these very politicians.
What are they doing about domestic fuel charges? That's a bigger crime than all the other crap.
And what about Dominic Cummings? the epitome of Toryism, another pile of crap.
But, don't worry people, the Labour party is lining up to take charge of it all. And by the look of it, they've learnt quite a bit since the Tories have been in, so not much change there then.

Our Chief of Police here in Victoria made a statement last week, 'No police officer is above the law, do wrong and you will know all about it.
Currently he has about a dozen or so police being investigated. Some will no doubt be kicked out of the force.

But politics is a brutal game, and game is what it is for many of them.

We currently have one in Feral parliament who was advised to get rid of her chief of staff as she was only putting in some70 hours a week.
The member is a GP and says there is nothing wrong with working more than 10 hours a day, if I have to do it so can my staff she claimed.
She was delegating all the work to the chief then said she should have then delegated it to others, the others all being juniors.
