It's a cushy life being an MP. They get the summer off claiming they're ‘in their constituencies' presumably to give their taxpayer-funded second homes a new coat of paint ready for any quick sale like if they lose their seat then they're back for a week, make a lot of noise and are off again.

Frankly, I say good riddance. I mean it's not like the country grinds to a halt. The only losers are the papers which have nothing to write about now the windbags have shut up shop and gone home again and even better we don't have any useless ministers telling us what to do.
