IAN Murray, Labour’s longest-serving Scottish MP, has made thousands as an Airbnb landlord, The National can reveal ...
The shadow Scottish secretary has made at least £10,000 since he began renting out his Bruntsfield flat in Edinburgh in 2019, his register of interests shows.
The description also adds: “Please remember that this is a private apartment, not a hotel. The flat is my home which I rent out when I am away. There are some of my personal belongings in the flat so please be respectful of the space.”Murray splits his time between Edinburgh at the weekends and London during the weeks Parliament is sitting, The National understands.
A Scottish Labour spokesperson said:"Many Scottish MPs claim accommodation allowances of up to £25,000 per year, Ian claims a fifth of that and ultimately saves the taxpayer tens of thousands of pounds in the process.“Like every MP, Ian splits his working week between London and his constituency. Unlike many MPs, he claims no taxpayer support for rent to do so.
