Jess Phillips – 2022 Comments on IPSA Guidelines Allowing MPs to Claim for Christmas Parties

The comments made by Jess Phillips, the Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley, on Twitter on 22 November 2022.

Just want to say no one asked for this, no one I know will use it. The guidance wasn’t made by MPs and yet we will be pilloried for it. I think it’s really irresponsible to issue this guidance as if MPs have been clamouring for it when I’ve literally never heard anyone do that.
