    How the bloody Hell does it coat half a million pound a week to maintain this building?
    Someone is taking the piss and filling their pockets with taxpayer money.
    It needs auditing and NOW!

      Common vein running through anything to do with taxpayers footing the bill - nobody questions the extortionate charges/prices of those carrying out the work.
      Much the same when it is quoted that the cost to police standing by Eco protestors blocking the M25 (for example) cost the police £millions. Nobody appears to raise concerns at such ridiculous costings.

    Before doing any large project, there should be a national pricing committee consisting of a few people with common sense and calculators. Work out the man hours and materials, then add 20% to allow a firm to profit, work that cost out and tell firms what you are going to pay. It would be better than just saying yes to anyone with a random high number.

      Tend to thing that would not suit the brown envelope transactions. Think Covid and the fortunes made... over 500 new billionaires, that is what government is about.

    Move the House Of Commons out of London to the middle of the UK where real people live. Then turn this building into a museum.

    A decaying relic fallen into disrepair. An archaic building no longer fit for the modern world seems pretty well suited a place to house our similar political system

    Demolish it and build a cheap warehouse that would be more suitable for the third rate politicians that would work (🤔) it in.

    Also given that the Queen has moved out of Buckingham Palace, you could move them all in there.

    It's because tax payers money is paying for it. The price always goes up when the tax payer is paying. Every company has a separate price list with inflated prices for jobs paid for with tax payers money.
    It's called ' Greed'

    Put into a mothballed state, make it a world heritage site and a museum. Meanwhile, build a new modern parliament somewhere outside of central London that is cheaper to maintain. I've been to the Palace of Westminster, and yes it's grand - but it's also not fit for purpose of a modern democracy. That's why PM questions and other debates in the house of commons still resembles something akin to a 17th century drunken brawling session, where little or nothing gets achieved.
