I imagine that the right hon. Members are counting the value of their severance payments somewhere else. Meanwhile, the rest of us are dealing with our constituents who are suffering from the fallout of their appalling choices.

That is before the mortgage guarantee scheme and Help to Buy come to an end later this year.
