A thousand and change per MP is actually commendably low. I’m all for getting money out of politics but I reckon this is actually very low for a country with an economy the same size as the UK.

Hey new rule, the monetary value of any gift received is taken from their paycheques.
Edit: MP downvotes :C

Politicians can always do whatever they like with zero repercussions, that’s why they’ll continue to claim gifts. Everyone loves a freebie.

“Conservatives received tickets paid for by the water industry”

So that’s less than a thousand per MP. A rich kid gets given more by their Grandma at christmas.
It’s clear to me that publically recognised gifts are not the problem. Analyse by whether MPs are favouring certain organisations/people/corporations, not whether they’ve been given small material gifts.
