Andrew Rosindell is my MP for Romford. He is claiming money for a second home. How can be justify claiming my money for a second home when he is in very easy commuting distance from London. I travel everyday from Romford to Chancery Lane. Why can't he? This is the kind of thing that should be stamped on. If thousands of people have no problem travelling to work then the MP should do so as well.
