Matthew Barrett, Conservative Home, posts on those MPs whom he describes as the most "cost-efficient" when considering "staffing costs, travel expenses, office costs, salary, and so on". Barrett highlights the fact that the majority of the top 50 MPs are Conservative.

Ben Gummer; Guy Opperman; Jonathan Lloyd; Sajid Javid; Conor Burns; Eric Ollerenshaw; Rehmen Chishti; Alok Sharma; Kris Hopkins; Stephen Metcalfe.

Cost efficient MPs, what a joke. I'd laugh if the thought didn't make me want to puke. The Nazis were cost efficient in running the gas chambers.
