Maybe their pay rise should be linked to benefits.
Their pay should be performance based. They should be as scrutinised as people who are on Universal Credit are. They should be paid based on the parliamentary work they do and constituency stuff like surgeries, etc.. any other work they do and money they get should be subtracted from their pay at the rate they take pay from Universal Credit.
I feel their payrises need to be in line with public sector policy
It needs to be fair for it to be accepted on mass
I have no issue with payrises, I feel with inflation it’s only right for people to get rises in line with that, and many businesses do this automatically. However it always seems as if it’s one rule for some public servants and another for the rest.
And yet public sector workers were offered a measly 1.75%,
Fucking cunts laugh at us as they increase their own pay. Why do we put up with this shit. Fuck me we are a spineless pathetic country of people.
> It said the pay rise is the same as the average increase in pay for public sector employees last year.
How the fuck is this possible when there was a near total pay freeze across the civil service? People earning under £24K got a token £250 extra but that was the extent of it. As I was just above £24K I personally got nothing.
And the Great British Public will lie back and take it once again.
They’ve partied so hard over the last year they deserve the pay rise.
Ohh worked hard. Sorry.
Absolutely fucking disgusting. People are choosing between food and heating. House prices and rent is through the roof. The cost of near everything is way up. We were all told payrises would only exacerbate these problems. Now, here we are.
Well that’s the MP’s sorted, the pay rise should just about cover the cost of living increase.
Now, let’s see what everyone else gets…
I have absolutely no issue with how much they get paid. Or with a 2.7% pay rise.
Being an MP is supposed to be a difficult job with a huge amount of responsibility.
What I take issue with is the fact that so many MPs don’t take that responsibility seriously and don’t earn the money they get paid.
For so many it’s just a means to lobby and make life better for themselves. Taxes get misspent, corruption becomes more overt and clear disdain for the public is so often shown. For MPs doing their job I say good on them for their achievements and for being well paid. To those that aren’t I resent their every moment in the position.
Let me guess, when they’re criticised for it they’ll all say it’s “an independent body review” that they have absolutely no say over so unfortunately have to accept it. Regardless of all the other independent reviews they’ve completely bypassed.
They get this for “increased duties”
Will they give NHS and essential workers the same raise? Of fucking course not, because they’re all corrupt dickheads. They weren’t even working properly, they just gave their mates billions and partied and broke the rules they get this money to make and follow.
They literally laughed at us and threw parties while it was illegal for you to see your family.
The news has been well and truly buried.
But never, ever forget it.
how long are average people going just sit and take this thinking “shucks the tories suck anyway back to trying to budget” instead of actually taking action and beginning to resist?
I aint had a pay rise in 3 yrs and I guarantee I’m more productive than all these twats put together
My pay rise last year was £250 🙃 working in the civil service. These MPs are top class wankers
I like how people support giving these cunts more money on the basis of “you need to pay well to attract the best talent” sure, but we don’t have the best talent so it’s just overpaying people to not do their jobs properly.
I’m the other way around. They should be paid 100k but there they need to live in a government bought hotel if they come to London. That’s it. No second home or mortgage payment or otherwise.
Fuck off seriously? The poorest of us are fucked and they get a pay rise? Fuck me
Worth every penny. You put them in charge and do nothing when the rip you off and fail you.
It’s actually worth pointing out that most people in here don’t know that MPs don’t decide on their pay. It’s the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa).
“[Richard Lloyd, chairman of Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60576639), which sets salaries, said: “This is the first increase in pay for MPs in two years and follows the average of increases across the public sector last year.
“MPs play a vital role in our democracy and this is reflected in their pay. It is right that MPs are paid fairly for the responsibility and the unseen work they do helping their constituents, which dramatically increased last year.
“For parliament to reflect society, it is vital that people from all walks of life can be an MP.”
Lovely news after I’ve just seen my energy bill increase by like 40%
are you fucking serious? everything that’s going on and those cunts get a pay rise. i don’t know why im surprised. im fucking disgusted though
They’re laughing in the faces of the English people but have convinced enough of their more angry supporters they’re really making fools of everyone else.
Ah thank Christ I was concerned about how they’d fare against crazy inflation, but thankfully they’re untouched by it which is nice
Are they taking the piss?
What am I saying, of course they are. It’s their default state.
Why not just send everyone shit in the post? Because that is what they are doing. Whilst many folks have to either starve or freeze or just both, they decide to take the piss and give themselves a fucking 2.2k raise. Oh and the power companies decided to rip people off, twice before it’s even fucking summer. Oh and raised National Insurance to “protect the NHS” when really, they blew the cash on christmas parties, several vanity projects, Boris’s press room until he realised he would have to face the press etc..
Meanwhile, I’m a fucking zero hour contract NMW waiter who is very unlikely to never get a raise outside of NMW going up.
​
I fucking hate the tories.
From April? When energy prices are set to skyrocket? That’s about as subtle as a kick in the balls.

That’s just over £42 a week.

It’s a joke.
How will they explain this extravagance in the face of inflation to the Governor of the Bank of England?: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60206564
