Well, they did pay for it, as did we all
BBC: Squatters occupy MPs' 'main home'
Labour MPs Ann and Alan Keen claimed £175,000 on a second home near Parliament, equipped with swimming pool and private gym, even though their main residence was only ten miles away. Now squatters have entered their designated main home and are adamant they will not budge.
"We've paid for their home with our taxes - so we're going to use it," Bob says. "You can see they aren't using it."
The house has not been lived in for several months and looks derelict, despite being designated as the primary residence of the MPs, dubbed "Mr and Mrs Expenses"

Well it is a great way to bring home to MPs how many people are feeling, although frankly I would be pretty upset if someone tried to squat in my house when I was on holiday.

Ann Keen claimed that the claim for the refurbishments has been entered into her expenses claims to prove that the refurbishments were rightly claimed, she claimed.
