How much can this really cost? Office moral is actually a thing.

This is just an easy way to keeping up the appearance of austerity.

I wouldn't put it past the strategists to have staged the whole thing by a faceless, back-of-the-house group so the MPs could look good blustering about it.

I worked in the public sector for several years. Christmas celebrations etc always had to be self-funded. We didn't even get milk, tea or coffee provided, we had to bring our own.

Quite right too, tax payers shouldn't foot the bill for it, it's not like MPs can't afford to pay for their own Christmas meal.
