End all subsidies for food and drink for MP’s, Lords and all public servants.
The cost of buying basics like food and drink should be felt by all, especially those elected by and supposedly representing the public. The cost to MP’s, Lords and public servants of buying food and drink should not be subsidised at any time and wholly paid for directly without subsidies or gifting

Background
The entire nation is feeling the pinch of food and drink pricing. Whenever possible, those elected to represent the public or paid by the public purse must feel the same financial pressures as those they represent. To this end, food and drink must cost MP’s, Lords and public servants exactly the same as it would cost the average person in the same area/location. This might lead to better representation but most importantly is fair to the public and tax payer.
