Suggestion for MP's to get up to £10000 pay rise

It's a pay rise suziewoozie . It comes in the wake of many others. And an increase in expenses pre- the corona crisis

Urm it’s not how I read it - it’s a fact supported by a link ( there are also
many others).

It appears it an extra £10000 for home working expenses. Heating, phone bills, electricity

I’d read it (like you sw).

It’s an amount of money to facilitate working from home. To purchase laptops for staff (but I bet they’ve all got techie stuff). Working from home = increased electricity bills doncha know?

However ‘Some pigs are more equal than others’ comes to mind.

trisher that’s a different issue not this one.

Well said suziewoozie

Of course they shouldn't get it but actually they already have
The increase, revealed on Thursday, will raise MPs' basic pay from £79,468 to £81,932 and will be effective from 1 April.
Plus they will get more expenses for staff and they have had rises almost every year. While the NHS and public services raises were voted down

What suziewoozie said.

suzie I confess to not being a saint, but thank goodness we have people like yourself to tell us.

WW you too? There really is no hope ?

How easy it is to get people going with fake news - why don’t people listen to the news themselves or check what is clearly a nonsense?

No pay rise of any sort until they sort out the NHS.

They have to learn that they must be assessed in order to qualify for a rise like all their civil servants.

Your joking right ?

You have to be joking yeah ?

It’s not a pay rise - it’s an increase in what they can claim in expenses for working at home. Whether that’s right or wrong is another issue- personally I want them to be as effective as possible at the moment dealing with constituents’ matters re COVID-19 - given that neither their constituency nor parliamentary offices will be working as previously, it will probably mean some expenses that normally come under those headings will in effect be spent elsewhere. There’ll also be savings on travel and subsistence. But either way it’s not a pay rise, it can’t be given away and I don’t know from what source the OP got this blatant piece of propaganda.

In the past, MPs have said that pay increases for them are not in their power to decide, because of this Authority.

That needs to change in the current situation.

And that’s a huge NO from me!

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority is expected today to propose the rise.

Who is suggesting this?

They shouldn't get it at all.

No, they shouldn’t get it at all.
