They don't know what hard work is.

The problem with getting an MP to live on a pensioner’s income for a month is that there is an ending window to look forward to and they could probably rough it in the full knowledge that there is an end.
We pensioners don’t have that option. Our only ending is a very unlikely lottery win or a visit from the grim reaper.
