Which Westminster perk would you most love to claim if you became an MP?
Being an MP comes with more than just a green leather seat and endless emails. If you swapped your day job for a constituency one, which little benefit would tempt you most?
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Subsidised Commons Bars
The Palace of Westminster has several bars where drinks are famously cheaper than your local Spoons. Imagine debating the Budget over a Β£3 ale.
B
The Riverside Terrace
That iconic green-and-white terrace overlooking the river is reserved for parliamentarians and their guests. Summer evenings here must beat a Tuesday in Telford.
C
Access to Secret Tunnels
Westminster is riddled with hidden passages and corridors only insiders know about. Perfect for dodging Laura Kuenssberg after a bad week.
D
Free First-Class Train Travel
MPs can claim first-class rail fares between London and their constituency. No more squashed against the loo door on a Friday night.
E
The Members' Cloakroom Sword Loops
Each peg in the Members' Cloakroom comes with a pink ribbon designed to hold your sword. Utterly pointless in 2024, utterly brilliant tradition.
