    It certainly does, just look at Trump and what is happening here with his business/property empire

    Sensationalism...

    Besides I'm sure the average is much higher than 2.4 between property owning politicians if you also count what they own in trusts/companies/spouses names/childrens names...

    Any other public servant pulled this they'd be done for fraud.

    Every 2.4 words is a porky

    Indeed

    Yup, lazy journalism. Look how many rich turds go bankrupt but have divorced their wife and live rent-free in their home after the bankruptcy.

    How about their use of living away from home allowances

    I don't subscribe to the Daily Smellegraph, so can't read that but could read the link title... I was also thinking along the lines of people like Michael Williamson and Craig Thomson
