Cheap boozing is the problem. We get blamed for seeing anti social behaviour on the streets of the UK and even abroad. Why should we subsidies the bars in the House Of Commons with cheap drinks and even the Sandwiches. MP's don't subsidies our food and drink.

    Why am I not surprised by these revelations. Only last night I discussed this with someone and said it was worrying that Parliament had this sort of culture within its walls and that recruiting might well be determined by sexual orientation.

    It reads more like a public school than the Mother of Parliaments

    Why would people be surprised? If some men are known to treat women the same then it's stands to reason that a few gay men are going to act in a similar manner. It's the nature of some men in general. Particularly, those in positions of power

    Stop subsiding the bars for cheap booze. Know wonder they need second homes and that expenses claims is another story. Yet again some of those we pay for have let the country down.

    Parliament’s expenses watchdog is to investigate claims that the taxpayer indirectly funded a hotel suite that was used for a gay-sex party during a Conservative Party conference.

    The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) said it was “deeply worried” by allegations that public money was used to pay for a suite of rooms used where the party took place.

    It said it would be investigating the claims, which come in the wake of revelations about inappropriate relationships between young Tory researchers and MPs following the Nigel Evans trial. Mr Evans was cleared of a string of sexual assaults on young men following a five-week trial at Preston Crown Court.

    The Independent understands that a suite of rooms costing up to £2,500 per night was booked at Manchester’s Light ApartHotel by an organisation called the Policy Research Unit (PRU). The PRU, which is overseen by senior Conservative figures, provides “parliamentary research” for the party’s MPs that is carried out by a team of mainly young researchers and interns.

    The majority of the PRU’s £437,725-a-year income comes directly from the taxpayer via MPs’ expenses. Tory MPs each pay nearly £4,000 a year to the PRU which they claim back through Ipsa
