Parliament's bars are some of the best places to hang out in central London
Politicians can also enjoy some of the cheapest food in central London thanks to a £7m annual subsidy.
Some MPs take a little too much advantage of these cheap refershments
And now we've learned that dozens of disgraced former MPs still have unlimited access this subsidised food and drink
Following a Freedom of Information request the House of Commons provided us with a list of former MPs who have successfully obtained a pass to access parliament.
They're all are still able to visit Westminster whenever they want, use the private dining rooms and drink in the subsidised bars – even though many were kicked out by their constituents for claiming wrongful expenses.
They don't automatically get this pass - it's only the former members who have especially asked for the privilege. And the only real benefit of the pass is access to the bars and restaurants.
