Michael Buerk reveals the world of benefits for pensioners for Dispatches. We used an old cut-out style graphic to explain the benefits to give it a light-hearted approach.

MPs: Are They Still At It?
More than three years after the MPs’ expenses scandal was exposed in the press, Antony Barnett examines whether UK parliamentarians are still abusing the system. He discovers there are problems with a lack of transparency and unearths evidence that some members are continuing to cash in.
