I’m genuinely unsure whether you are being deliberately obtuse.
Labour are not in government, not implementing cuts. And these are not just MPs in general, they are members of the cabinet. So it’s really not equivalence at all.
I think the point is that these are real expenses that mostly pay for people doing real and necessary jobs. They aren’t just disguised comp for MPs to live the high life or subsidise their failing kids.
