The National Housing Benefit budget has been cut drastically in the past 3 years, particularly via the Bedroom Tax & the Benefit Cap and the Government persist in telling the Country it is the fault of those claiming.
Yet yesterday The Mirror reported, Richard Benyon, apparently the UKs wealthiest MP receiving £625K a year from the State in Housing Benefit, this is “despite blasting the ‘something for nothing’ welfare state; he’s not alone either fellow Tories, Earl Cadogan, Sir Richard Drax and Lord Cavendish between them picked up a total of £227,170 last yearn and Andrew Charalambous UKIPs housing spokesman pocketed a healthy £745,351
These MPs then go into Parliament justifying and voting for yet more Cuts, all the while spouting the rhetoric of ‘lazy’ skiving, benefit recipients!
I believe this hypocrisy is wrong and they have prejudicial pecuniary interests; given this, Standards Committee must remind them. To this end I’ve set up a petition on Change org to
STOP MPs who receive Housing Benefit via property they own, speaking/voting on Welfare topics, due to a prejudicial pecuniary interest.!

It was revealed yesterday that the Queen’s estates are getting Housing benefits from their worker’s houses on their estates around the country. That’s nice!
