Re the £10k budget to enable MPs& #39; *staff* to work from home - many are suggesting it& #39;s an excessive amount for offices typically comprising 5 staff. 2 points:
1. It& #39;s a limit not a target - IPSA will only pay back legitimate spending for this requirement - it& #39;s not a wad of cash.

2. It should be fairly obvious that you can& #39;t just divert an constituency or HoC office number to a home phone - security and constituents& #39; privacy needs to be considered, alongside the secure parliamentary network access some staff require. Costs may be higher than you& #39;d think.

MPs& #39; staff are working flat out as it is helping people in crisis as a result of #coronavirus. The last thing they need is calls from folk angry cos they& #39;ve been told MPs are being given a handout when they can& #39;t get help. Trade unionists spreading this bile - honestly, wake up.

And OMG I put "an" instead of "a" in a threaded tweet, this is a disaster.
