Sometimes it really is hard to believe the gall of MPs sometimes:

A “cash-in-hand culture” could be costing the government more than £2bn a year in lost taxes, MPs have said. (BBC)

They prefer cash-in-their-back-pockets. After all, they can decide their own pay and perks, take on high-paid outside roles – and how much tax we all pay. Not that they actually do anything other than roll over and have their tummy tickled whenever a finance bill is proposed.

MPs complaining about others lining their pockets at the taxpayer’s expense? “Hypocrites” is the word that springs to mind.
