9:07 am
representatives took to twitter to ask where they could apply for such a nice restart job in parliament because it's obviously a lot safer and it's paying more than some of the frontline police officers but i spoke to the former editor of the police review to find out what the morale all is like among the police officers amidst these revelations well morale is already rock bottom amongst police officers anywhere as is because of the attacks on their pay and conditions of their pensions and then they find out as you say the politicians who could like the rest of us made coffee themselves and let's not let's remember that the coffee they have will be heavily subsidized by us the tax payers a lot of people's wages being either frozen or slashed just like the police officers we hit the streets of london a little bit earlier to find out whether people in london think that someone coffee to politicians should be making more money than
