Who actually pays for the Shadow MP’s expenses ? Does it come out of party funds or us… I ask because I don’t know.

I know on a national level that the measure of Council Tax is band D. Hardly applicable around here, thanks for looking that up Andrew.

All MP's, including opposition MP's are paid by the tax payer. Simply because they still form the government even though they might not have the overall majority in the House.

However as far as council tax is concerned, the MP's are not paid out of that.
