  1. So MPs get a 5.5% pay rise and yet doctors, nurses, janitors, cleaners, cooks in the NHS get 1%
    Disgusting! I’m fed up of the BS coming out of MPs mouths and it doesn’t matter what Party they belong to, all of them are crooks

  2. Must be nice to not have any idea how much you make or what kind of medical coverage you have.. these politicians live in a world so far from reality. TERM LIMITS

  3. He knew he was getting another pay rise as they already got a £30,000 pay extra a year but he somehow did not know YEAH RIGHT these hypocrites must think we are stupid

  4. Can we all have this same, ' independants body' so we can all get a 5.5% pay rise. Then tell everyone £100,000 a year is hard to live on.

  5. Its called the house of commons dnt see any common person in there all rich wealthy ppl some related to royalty how that work these lot been committing treason for years yet the ppl wont help fight bk just bend over an take it up the ass

  6. I’d love to speak with this so called independent body that gives MP’s pay rises year on year, and see how ‘independent’ they actually are… what a farce’
