🎿🍷🏛️While you’re microwaving leftover turkey and rationing the heating, Britain’s elected class is slaloming down ski slopes and snapping selfies at the Colosseum—all on your dime. Over £130,000 has been spent on MP “travel”—which now apparently means taxpayer-funded holidays dressed up as “parliamentary group fact-finding missions.”

🏔️ Rome If You Want To (Just Don’t Pay for It Yourself)

Let’s decode this. “Parliamentary group trips” used to mean visits to struggling regions or defence bases—not Dolomites ski resorts and ancient Roman amphitheatres. But here we are, watching MPs coast down powdered slopes with the grace of a taxpayer-funded avalanche.

The bill? £130,000+. The result? Some excellent photos for their Instagram and absolutely no discernible policy improvements. But hey, who needs functioning infrastructure when you’ve got fresh cannoli and a gondola selfie, right?

Why not try a real tour next time? Maybe visit the slums of Britain—where heating is a luxury and food banks are the new supermarkets. Or take a guided walk through the rubbish-filled streets of Birmingham, dodging bin bags and potholes the size of an MP’s ego. See how the “other half” lives—the ones paying for your flights and four-star buffets.

Because until they’ve stood in a mould-ridden flat in Blackpool or waited three hours at an NHS urgent care unit, their idea of “research” is about as grounded as a Ryanair flight during a thunderstorm.

What’s next? A taxpayer-funded mindfulness retreat in Bali to “study climate change” while sipping something organic out of a coconut?

It’s not “just a few perks,” it’s systemic looting dressed in velvet lanyards and thin excuses. Their Christmas cheer comes with a receipt—and guess who’s footing it?

If MPs need a tour to learn about Britain’s problems, we’ll send them a Google Maps pin to the nearest housing estate. Why are we still tolerating these globe-trotting grifters treating Parliament like a travel agency?
