European politicians rejected three cost-cutting measures, which would have seen salaries frozen and travel allowances cut, in a move branded as "shameful"...
Conservative and Ukip MEPs voted for the cost-saving proposals but Labour and Liberal Democrat members either voted against or abstained.
Would someone like to remind me why the EU is a good idea?
This is ridiculous. They are calling for austerity packages from all member nations but continue handing themselves lavish perks.
Does anyone even know what MEP's really do and who they are?
