If true, this is appalling. Shameful & possibly illegal. A government desperately bribing people to get a deal through which makes the country poorer. & a Labour MP - a *Labour* MP selling out the country & working people for a bung to put on their leaflets & save their own seat. https://t.co/OSnXxHp3uS

Even if they got their bung, it's not going to plug the massive long term financial hole in services that Brexit will bring.
