This is how new MPs spend their first day in parliament

New MPs could head to Westminster just hours after they are first elected, where they will have their first day in parliament. It includes a tour, a chat with HR, and a chance to mingle with their new parliamentary colleagues.

Same as their last sleep, eat, get paid, lie, and retire .

[arindamkumar]

The statues and paintings are just magnificent

[macbufff]

So exciting to see the new MPs on their first day! 🌟 Can't wait to see what they accomplish!

[DavidHalfordsLane]

“Customs and courtesy of the chamber?” That’s a laugh. Where is the trough for the snouts?

[MCB-sepj]

Waste more money ? £50 each breakfast expense allowance!

[jonbradbury]

They eat dinner and get drunk for free because the public pay for them to do that every day

[popski]

Nigel first day and he already delivered the best speech of the day in the commons. 👏👏👏👍😂 Go Reform uk 🇬🇧

[maxturner]

Get as pissed as lords in the free bar!

[MatthewPreston-elcq]

On their first day? Fill out their expenses form.

[edinguy]

Learn how and where to claim expenses and find out how they can employ their wives and family as office staff, then claim for hotel expenses as they are away from their constituents then go and have lunch at the free restaurant in the commons.

I think this shows why rituals are so important and represent culture so well. One might say "it’s so outdated!!!" But no, this clearly an old tradition being repeated every election cycle and I think it’s beautiful

Fascinating. I wonder how they do things in Congress. Surely some of the principles are the same for new members.

[thesheperd]

Handed a slip to put their first bet on.

[tomcrown]

Same as they do every other day. Sponge as many expenses out of the public purse as possible whilst doing as little as possible. Nice!

[bobikdylan]

Farage won't need a guide to show him where the subsidised bars are.

[rogueriderhood]

Make sure they know where the toilets and bars are.

[paultopping]

I would guess getting their expense account sorted out…..😂

[nevrobinson]

Read up on all the scams and benefits they can grab, not forgetting the huge amount of expenses like a packet of crisps, pack of cards to play patience with etc etc

[ednajohnson]

How sad to read the comments and realize the depth of cynicism . No way to live a life. Lighten up folks, kindness and positivity equals wisdom. We are all fellows in a similar ship.

Talking about MP's like they are 10 years olds..
10 years olds who are playing with our lifes
