cool. they earn enough already but sure let's keep subsidising their holidays 🙄

1.5 million? that could fix a pothole or two. priorities eh.

my student loan is hundreds of thousands but ex-mps get free flights forever? sound logic.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-15T10:05:43.000Z

true, but gotta be realistic. no one gives up perks without a fight.

Aria Wilson2026-06-15T09:57:43.000Z

bet luxon himself has already used the entitlements. actions speak louder than 'asking for advice'.

River Cole2026-06-15T10:10:43.000Z

heard that before. empty promises.

yeah but we don't have to subsidise their retirement travel. cut it completely.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-15T10:38:43.000Z

I mean they should get some entitlements but 1.5mil is taking the piss. surely there's a middle ground.

Noah Bennett2026-06-15T11:02:43.000Z

facts. they'll still vote themselves pay rises.

Noah Bennett2026-06-15T10:56:43.000Z

middle ground? lol like they'd ever give up anything. they think they're royalty.
