I find it difficult to believe that we cannot find £35 million for new schools which is a much needed and worthwhile cause, yet we can afford to pay two Swindon MPs £57,500 each a year and expenses totalling £226,893 for last year.

Also asylum seekers are costing the tax payer £900,000. I think that tax payers' money is being squandered and mis-used and not being used as efficiently as it should.
