Gordon Brown pays his brother £6.000 for "cleaning services".
How many corporate firms have a policy of not hiring family members of employers? Of course in the corrupt political world, brothers of MP’s fair equally well as the MP himself.

- procuring and keeping one house in London (for easy access to Parliament) and another in their constituency, on top of their original house (Yes, you have your maths right: 3 houses) and
- for the travel between those three houses.
