Reblogged from Same Difference:
Readers, for the last couple of days, this
brilliant post by Jack Monroe has been flying around cyberspace.
It names and shames the 169 MPs who voted for
the bedroom tax- and claimed up to £25K in
accommodation expenses themselves.
Until now, I haven’t had time to look at the list in detail. However, when I
did, I had a very unpleasant surprise.
I discovered that Paul Maynard, MP with Cerebral Palsy, voted for the Bedroom Tax.
Readers, that in itself would have hurt me more than enough. But then
I discovered that Paul Maynard, disabled MP, claimed up to £15K in
accommodation expenses himself.
Readers, Paul Maynard MP has never made any secret of the fact that he is not
in Parliament to represent disabled people, but his constituents.
Well then readers, please explain to me how he could have voted for a policy that must be
significantly contributing to his
constituents sharing bath water to save money?
Yet again, I feel betrayed by Paul Maynard MP.
