    Rachel Reeves is a MP for one of the most poorest areas in England in West Yorkshire. The area is a real dump and I would love someone to find one, just one thing, that she has down to improve the area. She has been MP since 2010 and the area is just deteriorating. Her comments about money are a kick in the teeth but are not a surprise.. As Mike has detailed she looks after self very well. Not sure how she can look her self in the mirror as she is not doing her job.

    I don’t understand why out of the blue Alex Salmond named Corbyn as someone frugal. He earns £84K a year as an MP and is said to have a net worth of around £3million. And his wife is an ex banker, no harm in that but he is not short of a bob or two. Maybe just miserly.
