The Home Secretary claimed almost £25,000 in expenses over five years to pay for her energy usage and other costs, while living rent-free at her parent's house
Suella Braverman has been accused of exploiting the system by claiming taxpayer's money to cover her household bills - while millions of Brits struggle afford their own.
Ms Braverman, who earns £67,505 on top of her MP salary of £84,144, told watchdogs she “fully funds” the home she stays at in Fareham, Hants. However, she failed to explain that the house is actually her parents - meaning she stays there rent-free. “Instead, when she became MP for Fareham, she and her family made a home in her constituency so she could stay there. She doesn’t claim a penny from the taxpayer on this home.”
IPSA confirmed this is also available to MPs who stay for free with family or friends, meaning they can claim back on utility bills for their main or only home. Therefore, Ms Braverman can claim bills, which average roughly £500 a month, at the house she stays in with her husband Rael and their two children in Hertfordshire, which she can commute to the Commons from.
