It might be for London MPs. My MP has a Cambridge-London (I think
all zones) annual season. But why would an MP for a constituency in
zone 2 justify more than a zones 1 and 2 travelcard?

They justify a flat on taxpayer's money near Westminster even when
their family home is 15 minutes away by train, and they justify
spending a fortune on stationery, so I'm sure they all get zone 6
travelcards too.

Mine doesn't.

No idea Colin. I was merely speculating as I don't know for certain that
I what said was correct. I certainly don't know what entitlement rules
would apply.

This has intrigued me as well, so I'm on the case of finding out - I
will report back when I have an authoritative answer (might take a few
days).

And should David Cameron, as an example to follow, not have insisted on
paying the £20 rather than plea for clemency? Perhaps he's trying to get
even more hoodies' votes whom he keeps urging us all to hug.

What happened to him going everywhere by bicycle?

Whilst the fact that our future PM may be a Morrisey fan is kind of cool, I
really can't bear any Tories and least of all those who purport to be "a
man of the people" in this fashion. The People's PM. **** off.

He's a Morrissey fan? Is his favourite Morrissey song "Margaret On The
Guillotine" ? Or maybe he likes Glamorous Glue, particularly the line
"We won't vote Conservative, because we never have...". Of course now
Morrissey is sick to death of Labour and Tory (Irish Blood English
Heart).

Anyone would be better than Bliar.

He won't be the leader at the next election.

But my vote is certainly not going to go
to either party at the moment. It'll be either Respect or the Lib Dems, like last time.

Not sure exactly what their policies are. Not sure any party will
actually have the policies I would like. Do we really want "New Tory"
which is simply New Labour with a different name?
