        This is just click-bait, it isn't much of a scandal There's plenty of legitimate reasons for foreign trips, it's only a scandal if there's "pay to play", & it's demonstrably a jolly It's not even all that much money, out of 650 MPs

        Conservative MP's accounted for 1.3 m of the 2 Million spent on overseas travel. Why did you use Labour MP Ed Miliband as the example for searching an individual MP's expenditure?

        Fact finding trips, actually. It’s just a happy coincidence that they need to know about Caribbean islands and the South Pacific a lot.

        Having just read a tweet by the same @BBCNews about MPs banning petrol and diesel by 2032! How are they travelling overseas again? These idiots haven’t a clue about business or how the economy works and we keep putting up with these tosspots

        They wouldn't do that because they know air travel is bad. Or is that just for everybody else?
