Thrilled to have been elected to serve as MP for East Dunbartonshire once more. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen.pic.twitter.com/FFPLEeMNlN

Thrilled to once again line your pockets with £200,000 p/a of our money on expenses?
Underspent every budget apart from staffing - unusually high due to cover for 3 staff on maternity leave. Do you have a problem with that?
-
-
Do I have a problem with that? Seriously? More than 6x the national average wage claimed while enabling Tory attacks on poor and disabled?
-
But you don't think people should be paid maternity leave? You do understand MPs expenses are mostly staff wages right?
-
Clearly the other 647 sitting MPs are doing it wrong then, cos they all managed to come in under Ms Swinson’s figure… 1/2
-
Perhaps having 3 pregnant staff at the same time is relatively unusual then? Again are you saying MPs should withhold maternity pay?
-
No, I’m saying that if you face unexpected costs you make savings elsewhere - do more with less. Or does austerity only apply to others?
-
That’s certainly Theresa May’s argument to the police! But no I don’t think constituents' service should suffer due to staff pregnancy

I cannot believe she just spoke to you like that ... "do you have a problem with that" how disrespectful for an elected MP to speak that
-
Yeah, that veneer of civility really is atom thin isn’t it.
-
About as thin as the gap between her front teeth ......
