imagine being able to spend $20k in 3 months on domestic flights. that's like my entire annual travel budget.

must be nice to have that kind of money to throw around.

wait till they claim the coffee runs as 'constituency work'... seen it before

read the article - it's all approved. still feels wrong when my elderly mum can't get a doctor's appointment.

Sky Murphy2026-06-29T20:15:00.000Z

totally agree. priorities are so out of whack.

Tom Harris2026-06-29T20:20:00.000Z
