Should He.
Piers Morgan asked Matt Hancock this morning if he was prepared to take a pay cut, his answer was no, asked why, he said he's having to work day and night. So should he take one?

I’m not entirely sure we should take seriously the opinion of somebody who doesn’t know what furlough means.
No MP should take a pay cut - it was an entirely fatuous question posed by Piers Morgan. They are probably working harder now than they normally do.
IF taking a pay cut could ensure the survival of an otherwise profitable business, and assuming the business hasn’t obtained a Business Interruption Loan, then I can see the argument, but otherwise no.
Some people nowadays live a hand to mouth existence, and a 20% reduction could cause some people problems.
Or is it the case that those who advocate MPs taking a pay cut, do so simply because they, wrongly, think MPs are paid too much?

I get less than 80%, shift allowance isn't included so it's actually around 60 % in my case ( and other shift workers that are paid a shift allowance ) and in my son in law's case who is a new car salesman he only gets 80% of his basic wage when most of his earnings are commission, he has managed to get a job .com driving for Tesco to make his wages up ( he started this week ).
You'd only expect 80% of basic salary, wouldn't you?
Crooks will be turning up in court for the next ten years in Corona related fiddles without claims for two grand a week bonuses and 200 hour working weeks. (as one NHS dentist claimed*)
*It took the authorities a surprisingly long time to work out he was fiddling, lol.

I read Matt Hancock also got a bit tetchy with Nick Robinson yesterday on the Today programme. I think this crisis has found him out rather quickly and he is at a level above where he should be.I voted for a Conservative government at the Election but fear some of their responses to this crisis and the possibilty of a no deal Brexit could rapidly turn them into a one term Government.
I said could Spicerack and there is another 4 years to go but Labour without Corbyn could appear more electable to a lot more people.I agree Diddlydo he does seem a good appointment but some of the others do not fill me with great confidence given there are very able ex ministers othe back benches thanks to agent Dom..
diddlydo is doubtless remembering that that's not unlike how Churchill came to power in 1940, which seems a reasonable precedent. He wasn't the Tory leader (indeed he switched parties occasionally) but he was the only one the opposition would support, so the only one who could lead a national government.
