She rents out her London home to another MP for £1560 (paid by the taxpayer) whilst paying the mortgage on said property of £500 (paid by her). She herself rents another property in London for £1473 (paid by the taxpayer)
For this she has spoken in parliament a grand total of 23 times, well below average for an MP and been pretty much below average at everything else related to her job, according to the highly regarded theyworkforyou website.
Interesting to note though, that she has never voted on having a more transparent parliament.....I wonder why
