Seems like MPs are about to get another above inflation pay rise taking them to nearly 82K. Still I expect they are worth it. Wonderful how they managed to get a formula that leaves other public sector pay deals standing.

Looking after themselves, expect their pensions will raise with it. Noses in the through springs to mind.

Although it looks a huge salary, I suppose it’s no more than top earners in other occupations.

They cut PIP disability benefit as soon as they knew they had a majority. Went back on several of their promises.

They already get free travel, free rent on second homes expenses.

Ok to give themselves a pay rise yet again. Stuff the the rest.

There are 135,000 #homeless children in Britain today. We lent video cameras to three of them, so they could show you the appalling conditions they're living in.

That's as may be Calendargirl but surely they should be setting an example, they not only have their salaries but extensive benefits as well. Pity their pay is not performance related.
