Doesn’t change the fact that the doctors are being greedy, just because MP’s are too.
This doesn’t fit the narrative – the BMA is claiming they had a _”20% real terms cut”_ and need the full 20% for so called _”pay restoration”_. Your graph only shows an 10% – 12% cut (& excludes this year’s 5% offer).
What is it?
1. No source for the data behind this chart.
2. Is there any suggestion that MPs’ wages have risen any faster than average wage increases? We know doctors’ wages have been hit, but this suggests, possibly erroneously, that MPs’ wages are some special case.
And any time anyone suggests *lowering* MPs pay, you can pretty much guarantee that someone will argue that you’d only get the already wealthy doing it because they can afford to.
Strange how that argument never pops up when talking about healthcare workers…
Now put on the line for average worker wages below all the other lines, and explain why the average worker should be paying for two 20% pay rises in a row for these greedy bastards when they themselves have been doing much worse overall
How many MPs do we have vs. Doctors?
You know as soon as someone says billionaires its a Marxist post with no real facts behind it.
RPI from 2009 to 2025 is 91%.
MP salary in 2009 was £64,667. In 2025 it is £93,904.
£64,667 x 1.91 = £123,513.
Chart is very wrong on MPs real terms change.
They’re such greedy wankers.
Can’t say I’ve ever met a poor doctor.
The average earnings for a Doctor in the NHS is £93,417pa. FY1 average earnings are £37,814pa, a salary just below the UK median of £39k, which is then surpassed in FY2, when average pay rises to £45,354.
A staff grade doctor earns on average £76,755pa. You’ll forgive me if I save my sympathy for people actually on low pay.
MPs,Pms basically anyone government related should be the lowest paid tbh they have absolutely destroyed the UK told us to basically scrape by off of nameless brands for food and clothes, told us instead of enjoying warmth in your house to wear more layers, basically told all children in education to f off, completely destroyed rent and energy, increased crime in nearly every city and town, made certain areas unsafe for women to go into alone or without a man, in the process of making schools unsafe, made gender fluid toilets so people taking their little daughters to the bathroom will have to deal with a grown man with male parts in the same place semi naked with them, messed around with our food and replaced nearly every nutrition with a lab created replacement, ran down pubs&clubs, destroyed parks and leisure centre by withdrawing or not providing needed funding amongst other things and they get pay rises?!? We have to pay them for destroying not only our lives but our children’s lives,our grandchildren lives?! Yeah that sounds about right.
We’ve got to stop comparing MP salaries to other things. MP salaries are a weird vortex where they were chronically underpaid for political reasons and, when their salaries were given to an independent body to decide they flew up in an attempt to compensate for just how underpaid they were.
MPs currently earn £93k, that’s a low salary for such a position.
Don’t forget mp’s expenses
if only people knew the sort of pay they’d get before training for a profession, alas they go to uni blind not knowing anything
If you could vote for your own party rise, you would too. So, how do become an MP?
Data without sources should always be treated as fake.
I’d happily take the ‘shit wages’ of an MP or a doctor instead of my own. I think these things should be put into perspective.
Too many MP’s/lords for a country our size.
it’s a tax payer funded gravy train
The problem here is that junior doctors have a much better career progression to get to a place where they earn more than an MP. An MP is on a fixed salary, notwithstanding expenses which (*should be) tightly managed. If we want quality in government or opposition to represent our interests, that means paying a requisite wage especially when MPs are often the subjects of public derision and hate. To be honest, £86k is nowhere near enough for me to take the levels of abuse MPs often do – you can get that in the tech sector and more for far less aggro and stress.
