El Cid Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I just read another 11% pay rise story. What pay rises have MPs had over the last 25 years, averaged and compared with Joe public pay rises? We should get behind our MPs and support them, not denigrate them at every opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbeliever Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I just read another 11% pay rise story. What pay rises have MPs had over the last 25 years, averaged and compared with Joe public pay rises? We should get behind our MPs and support them, not denigrate them at every opportunity. It's determined by a formula and administered by IPSA. http://parliamentarystandards.org.uk/payandpensions/Pages/default.aspx The idea was to de-politcise it. I objected at the time. They did take a big pension cut and they do now operate under a decent expenses control and oversight system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan edake Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 11% of what they are paid equates to a lot more than 11% of what Joe Public is paid.However when they get 11% and Joe Public only gets 1% the gap gets bigger every time and MPs will still fiddle more than Joe Public can.

Margarita Ma Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Increase date Basic salary Apr 2010 £65,738 Apr 2013 £66,300 Apr 2014 £67,060 Jul 2015 £74,000 17 more rows Salaries of Members of the United Kingdom Parliament - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salaries_of_Members_of_the_United_Kingdom_Parliament My MP Louise Haigh though she can not refuse the pay rise has started a charity fund with the increase since last year. Local Charity organisations in the Heeley Constituency can apply for grants to help with their work. Perhaps people in other constituencies should pressure their MPs to do the same.

I read an article in the Guardian saying it was as bad as before, just more covert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
