3. It's only 68.000 more than me, it's a large salary.

4. For a career politician like him £100k I thought will be more than enough to live on!

5. I really detest the tories. What a out of touch pratt

6. Is he literally having a laugh…. People “not in his area” have the same costs the same price of food of council tax of every tax under the sun to even walk out the front door. And earn 4x less.

7. he’s a Pratt

8. We are finished as a ntation if the person in charge of our economy thinks like this. This is almost three times the average income and he dears to say such a thing. Get them outtt!

9. He said so much more yet that’s the title…and most of the comments around here

10. What an arse!

11. Thank god that your constituents doesn’t talk about basic wage rates in your constituency!

12. This just tells me they are fully aware how little nurses get paid and don't give a f.

13. A Leveller if ever there was one. So mealy mouthed

14. 100000/365=273 then tax 50% thus £137 per day, that is enough for food only if one is healthy

15. The solution is to buy food only, default on rest and live in tent on undeveloped land

16. He's not wrong. A 100k salary isn't that much if costs keep going up but that salary hasn't kept up with inflation. Do people naking less suffer even more than that? Of course they do, but they get sone measure of public funds to accoubt for their low wagd which really makes up for that difference.

17. Ok I'll send ny details Jeremy thanks

18. Socialism is for the rich now

19. Meanwhile, the government sends millions to Israel no questions asked.

20. When it suits then they say 60k a good wage for train drivers

21. Clueless

22. I used to be in the debate club. We were encouraged to argue for even the most ridiculous positions to test our debating skills. I would've made a fine politician, now that I think about it 🤔

23. Resign

24. Jokers try earning less than 25000 a year a pay for all them things tax the rich

25. It’s not alot!

26. This guy is a joke, I can’t wait to vote all of them out,,

27. This man is the Devil.

28. Let them eat cake attitude.

29. The gravy train is over in Britain, the world is too competitive and unstable spending won't fix anything it is just passing on the problem. As a nation we need to help each other.

30. In his area!!!
    Toff

31. Maybe if house prices were lower we could all live comfortably, if only someone was in Government and could do something about it 😂

32. This is the problem when mps dont have a clue what goes on in they own country.but they just want to increase their salaries when the country is starving.. and then they want us to vote for them .never even in my dreams i would never vote for con artists.

33. Well, I'd love to be on £100,000. Try £25,000. Oh, well. Every penny counts. It has to!

34. He's right, 100k means 5k per month after taxes, not a big salary in London as it sounds
