Finally.
Having to pay for your second home with private company consultations must get tiresome.
Why are parasites that keep making things worse getting a bloody payrise?
Good. They might do something about the £100k tax trap now.
I don’t mind paying MPs well. As long as they give up other forms of income from second jobs, paid appearances etc. And they don’t employ family members and claim their salary as expenses.
People will moan but I would rather we pay MPs well. It helps attract capable candidates who could earn more elsewhere, makes the job accessible to those without private wealth, and reduces the risk of them turning to corruption. In the grand scheme of public spending, it’s a relatively small price for better incentives – although of course we need other controls.
I used to think high MP salaries are justified to keep them focused on the job and to attract high standard of politicians. Yeah that theory has gone to the toilet… I cannot fathom how someone can get paid £110k to fail at their job consistently.
We should pay them double that amount and hope to attract capable high performers rather than the corrupt and entitled.
How about they unfreeze income tax bands and student loan repayment bands when they increase their own pay.
They should pay them £200k and ban them from taking a 2nd job
Might actually get a higher caliber of individual who can actually focus their time on the job
I want this to be the case so MPs are less inclined to take that dinner, accept those tickets, attend that event.
Less inclined to take such sum to speak at an event, or attend said fundraiser.
MPs shouldn’t be as easily manipulated as they are.
As I say each year, I have no issue with them getting a pay rise, but it should be reflected with an equal percentage pay rise for all public sector workers.
Inflation-matching pay rise for MPs? Inflation-matching pay rise for the whole public sector.
Should be their only job – and require them to be in the uk – unlike Richard Tice and Nigel Farage. Tice spends his spare time in the Gulf. Farage forever popping over to the USA to sniff at Trumps backside.
The salary is a pittance, donations and second/third Jobs are the big earners.
To be fair, this is fuck all. Yes it’s a high salary for the UK average, but it’s fuck all in the private sector. I would prefer we paid them double but banned them from second jobs.
I would not want my life, friends and family scrutinised, every social media post scrutinised. Any wrong footsteps and boom, you are a social lepper. 24 hours a day 7 days a week. No thank you.
At least they’re in the 60% marginal tax rate trap firmly now. Maybe they’ll change it now…
Didn’t they get paid 65k like 10 years ago?
No wonder they dont give a fluff about inflation
This is terrible money for the level of responsibility. I wish we could 4x their pay and then ban them from second jobs, speaking circuits and all the other vectors for corruption.
And public sector universities only got a pathetic 1.4percent …..
3.5% increase plus 1.5% benchmarking for them in 26/27.
Meanwhile nhs staff just got given 3.3% flat…
Do they honestly do enough work to put themselves in the top 2% of earners?
I think MPs should have their wages tied to the national average. Get a better deal for workers, get a better deal for themselves.
Plus they are supposed to represent us, not be above us.
Good, they should be paid well, but restrict them from taking other jobs that distract them from being an MP and lead to corruption.
This is probably a controversial opinion but I think it should be at least double that, providing the gift allowance was £50 per gift and they could hold no other positions. If the pay was more attractive then it would draw better candidates who would then focus on the job in hand.
There needs to be a minimum attendance requirement for sitting in parliament as well as a minimum number of surgeries they have to hold a month. Not some token number. Parliament sits (say) 200 times a year they have to be there for 80%, they have to run 12 hours of surgeries a month. That sort of thing.
I dont get why this is such an issue. We want people qualified to run the country we should pay them as such.
As it is now a lot of well educated successful people would look at the mp job and see it as a pay cut
It’s the same for all government jobs. I saw one as gov CTO once which is like 2 levels above me in a private company – it makes less than what I do now. Why would anyone bother with these kind of things.
