Talkback: Tory MP says pregnancy benefits are a waste

Who is this MP????? What planet is he on?

Sorry if mum-to-be cost the government money,like mps spends over last few weeks are they sorry to the tax payer-NO.

This loon wants to spend some time leading a normal life.Idiot

Don't care if it is a gimmick.Thankyou very much Gordon.Gimmicks welcome in our house.

Who is this MP?How much does he earn a year,and who pays him?Does he live in the real world.

We got by before such "gimmicks" and we would without,but things are expensive these days.People with a lot more spare cash than most of us are claiming much more than £190 for a lot more trivial things than having a baby.

This is a benefit for everyone,irrespective of income.If you can't appreciate the difference that makes you obviously wouldn't need it.

well said jo xx
