@snb19692 I agree, Steve. The use of tax payers money for such an unrepresentative and unelected group is totally unacceptable. Still, they'll pay the price soon enough. We'll have the bastards out!
#GeneralElectionNow

@snb19692 according to wiki 21 members I can’t see two grand paying for an office in the heart of london for a week must be other sources of income

@snb19692
Much like 55 Tufton St ERG and other groups hide behind 'Think Tanks' or 'Charity Status' while using public money to undermine democracy and replace it with an agenda that allows them power without responsibility or consequences.
MP's activities should be open source, we pay them to represent us, not to betray our trust.
If topics can't be discussed openly then they should not be discussed .outside national security
We need transparency in Government,

@snb19692 morning Steve. Glad you're here.

@snb19692 I fear that we fund numerous such syndicates in the House of Commons. There is, though, something particularly irksome about the ERG.

@snb19692 That’s £2,000 per member every year Steve. Great to see you on Mastodon!

@snb19692 Do the MPs in other UK parties do the same?

@snb19692 Don't forget that this is unfindable through search unless you hashtag it

@snb19692
We need a #GeneralElectionNow and reform of our political structures starting with the abolishment clandestine groups and where appropriate lobbyists.

@snb19692 great to see you here Steve👍🏼

@snb19692 good question

@snb19692 I’m not seeing you on twitter anymore?

@snb19692
Well, that's how they *say* they're funded, but if they haven't published the books, who's to say?

@snb19692 Who funds you then?
