Mps Pay Freeze

[gulliver1]

Boris says MPs are not to get their £3.000 pay rise next spring. How on earth will they manage. Will they be able to claim extra expenses to compensate. ?.

sticks and stones and all that...

How about culling them by 30% and then giving the remaining ones a rise. Even the House of Reps has significantly far less members than the Houses of P......

// its not up to the government ^ //

No it isn’t. But they cannot take a big wage rise when they are telling millions of public sector workers they they get no wage rise.

The PM took a huge pay cut (especially from his column in the Daily Telegraph). He knew this when he took the job. When he becomes an ex-PM,he can cash in in a big way.

good idea Dtc

But he's saying they shouldn't take it. Mountain and molehill.

Unfortunately many on the left are not educated enough to understand the mechanisms it seems and perhaps dont know why this was bought about.

Let us remember there are also labour liberal and SNP (and a few others) in Parliament as MP's. Now will THEY take it?

I agree with emmie, MPs are underpaid. Yes, they knew the salary before they took the job on but so did nurses and everyone else.

I know a lorry driver and a head teacher of a junior school who earn more than an MPs basic salary. I'm not saying they don't deserve their pay but it does put it in to perspective.

Gulliver ,From the Independent:-
//Boris Johnson believes MPs should have their pay frozen next year, instead of being given a £3,000 rise as proposed, the prime minister’s official spokesperson has said.//
Note the believes.

[gulliver1]

Boris is ok he can claim childrens allowance , he doesn't need a pay rise .

[emmie]

surely that is the most stupidest thing i have read on here.

[emmie]

his children are mostly grown, so doubt that he or his ex get money for them.

Gulliver.............-;)

There's none so blind as those who don't read the facts!!
MPs do NOT set any pay rise , read Webbos post !!!
Emmie I agree with your last post here

[Sqad]

I don't know whether Gulliver meant it, but I thought his post was quite...funny.

[emmie]

your hatred of Boris alone makes you unable to see the truth, webo has pointed out the matter, let it lie.

[emmie]

that was to our OP>

[lankeela]

I honestly believe that Boris would have taken on the job of PM if he had to pay them to do it! He has worked all his life towards this!
