Hypocrites in the House

On Tuesday, November 12th, Labour used it’s Opposition Day to put forward a motion to, with immediate effect, end the “Bedroom Tax” As with last week’s motion on energy bills, it was defeated with the government winning the day with a majority of a mere 26.
Now, let us be clear – we believe Labour fully expected to get defeated ere and see these motions as petty political point scoring – an effortless way of making them look good and the Coalition look bad.
But it has at least given us a clear focus of the greatest enemies of the people.
Several media outlets and bloggers have named and shamed the full list of just over 250 Coalition MPs who have stood by the charge and we saw quite a lot of names on the list who also appeared on last week’s list- but we wanted to go deeper and make a list of the biggest hypocrites in the House.

So, we present to you the MPs who in 2012-2013:
1) claimed accommodation allowances
2) As part of that allowance, also put their energy bills on expenses
3) Voted against BOTH of Labour’s opposition day motions

These are the people who expect the taxpayer to pick up the tab for their housing and heating (not to mention other expenses such as staffing and travel costs – but, in order to keep our focus tight we are not going to include those figures in this report) but have actively blocked Labour’s efforts to cap the bills of those they were elected to represent and ensured many more people will now be made to suffer because of the unfair bedroom tax policy.

If there are deaths this winter as a result of the cold weather – and from what we understand, such things
are a tragic inevitability – then these are the people who we are going to be holding responsible.
We will not forget these names. Nor shall we forgive.
